Easy thing to do is use "ps" from terminal and *see* what processes seem to  
have a large chunck of memory allocated to them...I haven't looked at the code  
at all, but my guess would be that the WindowServer will be the culprit. And  
that it arises from many Views/Windows/etc that are being allocated and perhaps  
not freed/re-used.

Good luck,
