Re: [matplotlib-devel] big memory leak when running tests?

[Jens N. <jen...@gm...>]

I can confirm that after running the test suite with matplotlib.test() on a
OSX 10.9 machine I end up with using around 1.5 Gb of memory. Furthermore
the Python console that the tests are running from is extremely slow after
the tests. Doing a gc.collect() frees most of the memory and returns the
console to normal.  I have only tested this with the stable 1.3.1 release
