Yes, I've seen this under similar circumstances... though I'm
probably an even heavier user since for a while I couldn't stay up
more than a day.

Try putting

#define VALBITS 26
#define GCTYPEBITS 5

into your config.h file before building epoch (after the line
about X-Windows). That will increase the amount of virtual memory
epoch has available. Unfortunately the memory allocation warnings
you are supposed to get, I never got.


This won't help you get a smaller image, but it will let you stay
up longer. I suspect gc isn't recovering everything it can from
deleted buffers, but this is more an emacs than an epoch problem.

Of course, it helps running on a machine with more than 200 meg of
swap ;-).
