Hi Dave, I realize that you said you are using w3, I moved to w3m a while back so I am unable to recreate your situation. It may be that by using w3m (which runs outside of emacs) my emacs session is using less memory than you are using. If the 2 hour point is rather consistant then as a simple experiment, try manually giving the command M-x garbage-collect every 15min when working one day. If that changes the behavior of the problem than emacs garbage collection may be a good place to look for a solution. If the above experiment gives positive results you might try reducing the size of the variable gc-cons-threshold. It is what triggers garbage collection (well, it is what triggers garbage collection when the lisp evaluator is called). Again, I am not having the problem you are experiencing so the above is really guess work. There are a number of ways to get emacs to tell you more about what it is doing behind the seens, and if no one can contribute a "simple fix" that may be the route to take, but I would be curious to know if manually doing frequent garbage collection has any effect (positive or negitive) on your problem. Sorry I cannot give you a specific fix, -Greg -- Greg Priest-Dorman priestdo@xxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the emacspeak list or change your address on the emacspeak list send mail to "emacspeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxx" with a subject of "unsubscribe" or "help".
