You're probably just causing a bunch of events, expanding the event
queue, and hte expose event processing uses some memory too. The
memory should get freed again later, though that may not show up in
'top' because it may not return to the OS, see the thread Derek started.

Use "memprof" to look for real leaks, since they could certainly happen.
