I get similar results. `M-x memory-report' shows that *Messages* and
*Echo Area* each group to 9MB, and almost all of that is in `gap-size'.
But that's still a long way from 200MB. Perhaps Emacs is bouncing the
buffer area around a lot and isn't returning the data to the OS? (Does
Emacs ever return memory used by buffers to the OS?)
