There is obviously some memory leak in emacs and I don't know how to
trace the culprit. Emacs lops up 2GB RSS: ps axuw |grep emacs
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND

So does this look like a X fonts issue? How can I figure out which
package is the culprit.
1. Emacs has a bug where I can't look at /proc/5434/emacs from within
emacs it will only read 16384 bytes from the proc filesystem
2. Trying to Unload a feature hits all sorts of design and
implementation bugs with the cl-generics scourge which is unfortunately
used to implement emacs. Is unloading features likely to help at all in
reducing the memory and getting a clue about the errant package?
