Hello,

My emacs currently consumes 256Mb virtual, and 125Mb resident.
Its also fairly slow. This happens a lot with my usage pattern.

Im trying to get a feel for where the memory consumption and slowness
occur, and Im looking for techniques. Any hints would be apreciated.

I currently look at these things:
- m-x garbage-collect to get a baseline
- how large the buffers are, including "hidden" ones
- looking at the number of overlays in certain buffers.

None of these factors seem to come even close to the numbers I get.

Currently it seems ERC is causing a lot of the slowness, if not the
memory consumption.

A plain emaccs -q does of course run fast on my system.
