You could invoke (print (garbage-collect)) frequently and find the
part of its report that grows the most. That would tell you what
objects are being consed very frequently. Then you could put a
breakpoint at the C function which allocates that type of Lisp
objects, and see what the backtrace shows when the breakpoint is hit.
