One year on I'm having the same problems on master (and I've been
noticing it for a few months now)

virtual memory reports 2.9G resident 2.5G shared 10.9M.

$ ps o pid,rss,drs,sz,share,start_time,vsize,cmd 26285

  PID   RSS   DRS  SIZE - START    VSZ CMD
26285 2643236 2996379 2664940 - Sep09 2998948 
/7/gtk/emacs/build-xt-xft/src/emacs --debug-init --daemon

GC reports

which is a small fraction of what emacs is using.

This is on a recent emacs from master

Perhaps there is already a bug report for this on debbugs?
