Subject: Emacs 27.1 memory consumption grows indefinitely
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 21:38:47 +0200

Hello,

Since I upgraded to Emacs 27.1, its memory consumption grows without
bounds, to the point that it gets OOM-killed after just a couple of
hours (meaning that it’s used most of the 16G of RAM of my laptop!).

Does that ring a bell to anyone?  I have 50+ ^emacs- packages in my
profile; any clues on what could be the cause before diving further?
