This keeps emacs 99% busy for a couple minutes and increases
the resident size by 1 or 2 MB.
What's more interesting is that today's bzr build
even with -Q and -Q -nw seems to use more than 1.5x times memory
after startup than it used to.
To rule out any issues caused by --without-xml2 I have rebuilt and
it still start Emacs.app at 42MB while it used to start at 25MB.
What did change?
