Well, the problem is that there are memory leaks, and there are
stupid Lisp programs that use unbounded amounts of memory. One
thing that makes me curious is the CPU usage which looks to be about
2-3%. On my machines (450MHz Pentia) a quiescent XEmacs uses more
like 0.2%.
Even that is weird in my book. A quiescent XEmacs should sleep in
select and spend 0% CPU. (The exception might be systems with broken
SIGIO or something, where XEmacs will wake up 4x per second.) YMMV.
`M-x list-itimers' sometimes proves useful for debugging this kind of
problems.
