That's great news. The cvs archive seems to have large commits every
once in a while, so I suspect the residual memory growth may be
related to those. Or to a smaller leak I haven't nailed.

My test box is bloody slow it seems. I'll try and get hold of a faster

Given that we are running batch, it is safe and simple to stop the
import, repack, prune-packed, and keep going. Don't think we'll win
any races by running it in parallel ;-)
