high memory usage

[dmvianna]

I just ran some profiling during a session that lasted at most one hour, and look at this snippet from *Memory-Profiler-Report*:

  1,352,822,593  30% - redisplay_internal (C function)
  1,271,546,132  28%  - eval

This is my setup:

(use-package smart-mode-line
  :init
  (progn
     (setq sml/theme nil
           sml/shorten-directory t
           sml/name-width 32
           sml/shorten-modes t)
           ;; sml/use-projectile-p 'before-prefixes
           ;; sml/projectile-replacement-format "%s/"

     (sml/setup)))

I installed via straight.el, the smart-mode-line release is 2.14.

I just opened emacs this morning and left it idle, and could track its memory usage growing while I left it idle. Then I commented out the above smart-mode-line configuration and restarted emacs. The memory footprint stopped growing. So there you go, we have a memory leak.
