I would imagine it's just what you would call obscene usage.  The rest
of us wouldn't -- or at least I wouldn't.  What epoch (and gnu emacs) does
is to keep all the files you ever edit in virtual memory, plus the
things in the kill ring, plus who knows what else.  So it's bound to
grow over time unless you delete lots of buffers as you go along and
it's able to reuse some of that memory.

This isn't a problem on most modern desktop systems, since swap space is 
usually plentiful.  It is probably a bigger problem for things like
laptops with limited memory and limited disk space.
