I wouldn't worry about it. It's normal to see memory use going up and
down a bit (RSS, anyway, which is the one that matters (usually)).

If valgrind says you are OK, you are probably OK. Plus leaks generally
run out of control rather quickly and you are only observing rather
small changes in mem use.
