We shouldn't compare the text-mode visits with VM visits. Emacs deals
with text and data memory differently. The text memory is given back
to the OS quickly, whereas data memory is probably never given back.
The problem is not that the data memory is retained within Emacs.
But, rather that it seems to grow over time. That is what I mean by
a space leak.

Cheers,
