The patch appears not to work.
After viewing / downloading about 125 articles, sorted from smallest to
largest, from alt.binaries.pictures.automobile, XF86_S3 grew to about
48MB.
The patch apparently did not work, but it appears to have had some
effect ... after I called clear-image-cache manually XF86_S3 decreased
down to about 11.5MB. After completely exiting emacs, XF86_S3 went down
to about 8MB. The difference between 11.5MB and 8MB puzzles me. Is
clear-image-cache clearing as much as it could? I had only an xterm and
emacs open when measuring the 11.5MB number.
By the way, after applying ShengHuo ZHU's patch to gnus-sum.el which
saves articles without processing images, I changed my testing method
to this:
- in a gnus summary buffer,
- I recorded a macro of: enter o C-n
- and played it 200 times (interrupting it after about 125 plays).
