Thanks, you're quite right CPU is not the limiting factor for the
build. Disk access and usage of swap when compiling
input/regression/collated-files slows down the build to a crawl for me.
The problem here is that lilypond builds up memory from 400MB to ~1GB
without releasing...
Most of these allocations don't seem to be memory leaks, but rather due
to guile.

Is it a bug? We're talking about lilypond running with
the -dread-input-files flag here. Once a snippet has been processed and
lilypond moves on to the next one, there is no reason to hold onto the
memory used by the previous snippet, right?

I'm trying to look at memory usage on my Ubuntu box. If I watch the build
using System Monitor, I rarely see more than a gig used. However, using
"free" even my dormant machine is now showing 3 Gigs used. Is this because
I have around 2 Gigs marked as "cache"? Is the actual in-use memory
used-cache?
