Is this with Rmail or with some other mail agent?

With Rmail, I cannot reproduce this with the current trunk.  Here are
my results of garbage-collect, the first one is the initial one, the
others are pairs, where the first one is after visiting my 15MB INBOX,
the second one after killing the RMAIL buffer:

You can see that the counters go up very slowly, much slower than what
you report.

In fact, the initial report in my cases shows counters that are
several times smaller than in your case.  Can you explain this
discrepancy?

I see similar numbers in Emacs 23.3, so it's not like the trunk is
very different.
