I have reported this problem to the gnu emacs developers a few times,
but it seems that emacs is not actively maintained for cygwin right
now. perhaps someone here can help? I am happy to provide more details
if needed. thanks...
A brief problem description:
memory usage of emacs does not decrease after killing buffers with images.
This is lisp (emacs lisp), so it's a feature not a bug.
emacs.exe -q --no-site-file&
the memory usage right after startup is 14912;
after editing a small image: 16452;
after killing the buffer with the image and using M-:(clear-image-cache
t)RET: 16476;
after editing a large image: 39164;
again quit+clear cache: 34484;
edit small+medium+large images: 58936;
quit+clear: 87636... (increased!)
overall memory usage in most lisp's doesn't decrease on released
objects. memory usage is reclaimed when the garbage collector starts its
walk, which happens when there's not enough memory.
