Sorry, it's not the memory, it's the CPU which is taken.
    

Do you use semantic? There have been a couple of reports recently
about semantic's idle timer functions taking 100% CPU on recent CVS
versions of Emacs.
  

The problem seems to be caused by this fix:

2006-08-20  Richard Stallman  <address@hidden>

    * emacs-lisp/timer.el (run-with-idle-timer): Pass t to
    timer-activate-when-idle, so timer can run before Emacs becomes
    non-idle again.

After reverting that fix, I see Emacs CPU usage go from 0 to 2% for a brief instant when the idle timers kick in. With that fix, the CPU usage goes to 50% and stays there until I perform an input event to break the idle loop.
