`message' calls `format', which calls `copy-sequence'... Isn't that a
source of consing?
That seems to account for most of it. I made another command
that accumulates data in a list, and it showed very little
consing.
This shows that calling `message' does a lot more consing than it
ought to need to do. But this may not be significant for the great
consing-related slowness I see.
