There are more things that do not compute unfortunately :-/ Try just _saving_ 
a file (autosaving for example); it allocates a lot of tiles and does not 
seem to free them until the end...

Or see for example this:

There it seems that imagemagick memory is never freed after loading (for 
making that dump, I removed icc profiles so that I would get a cleaner 
result)
