Research direction

Start by reproducing the report in DrRacket with Racket 8.9 [cs] on an M1 Mac running Sonoma 14.0: open the two .rkt files and switch between their tabs. Done means tab switching no longer causes memory usage to rise rapidly; the payload names no source files or tests to inspect.
