When I first start up GIMP: /usr/bin/gimp -d -i -c --batch '(extension-perl-server 1 0 0 )' I see the following using top (script-fu and Perl-Server processes never change so I'm not including those): VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 18440 7444 13m S 0.0 1.4 0:01.07 gimp Then I execute the code shown at the end of this message, and I see the following: VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 18648 8056 13m S 0.0 1.6 0:01.12 gimp Within the code I add an additional text layer and use gimp_merge_down, and see no change. I add seven text layers and still no change (I had originally thought adding a new text layer ALWAYS results in more memory being taken but this is not the case, so my initial description of the problem is misleading.) After running the script with the new text layers about 25 times in rapid succession I see the following: VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 18788 8196 13m S 0.0 1.6 0:06.23 gimp This behavior occurs with this sample pretty consistently. Not a huge increase, but the cgi I'm using in production does a lot more than this and can be generating a few thousand images in one day.
