I run scwm more or less permanently at work, the current copy has been
running since Nov 24, and the memory usage (RSS anyway) is not
significantly higher than when it started. scwm runs some Scheme code
every time I move or resize a window or open a new one, at least
(which is a lot in my case).

Thus, I don't think Guile memory leaks, if any exist, are a huge
worry for persistent. processes.
