Hmmm ... When I load with emacs -Q


(setq default-frame-alist '((minibuffer . nil)))

(setq frame-size-history '(100))

(defvar foo 0)

(defun foo (frame)
  (setq foo (1+ foo))
  (fit-frame-to-buffer frame))

(setq resize-mini-frames 'foo)


and leave Emacs alone for a while, 'foo' has increased by about 30 (I'd
attribute 20 of them to 'blink-cursor-mode').  So 'fit-frame-to-buffer'
apparently does get called way too often.  But if I now evaluate

(frame--size-history (window-frame (minibuffer-window)))

and look into the *frame-size-history* buffer, I see no excessive number
of calls to resize the frame's window here.  Maybe things are different
under Gnome or NS.
