Thanks.

But if it's due to helm, why doesn't the huge memory usage show in the
report produced by GC?  That report should show all the Lisp object
that we allocate and manage, no?  Where does helm-ff-cache keeps those
"candidates"?  (And what is this cache, if someone could be kind
enough to describe it?)
