That's not what I meant.  I meant to look at the values of the
*_consed variables, here's the full list:

  intervals_consed
  strings_consed
  string_chars_consed
  floats_consed
  cons_cells_consed
  vector_cells_consed
  symbols_consed

You can use the function memory-use-counts, if that's more
convenient.  The question is: which of the above counters changes the
most between two GCs, and how does the answer to that depend on the
version of Emacs?
