I think so, yes.  These numbers cannot be interpreted directly as used
memory.  It's more like "time spent inside the function, measured
memory-usage wise.

Hmm.  Ok.  We could try with M-x trace-function pp-to-string RET
directly before `gnus-summary-exit'.  A popup buffer should appear, and
it would be helpful if you could again post the output (with any private
data obfuscated; we are interested in the argument(s) of the function
call(s)).  But before that please M-x untrace-all RET.

Thx,
