Jeff,
I've been doing some more tests today.

OK, I wasn't aware of this. However, memory consumption still flies. I am
aware that it could be other bits of the program that are eating up loads of
memory, but I don't know how to test where the bottleneck is. In the end, I
resorted to getting rid of basemap instances, but the problem persists.
There must be something in what I'm doing that's eating memory up, but I'm
not sure how to check what it is.
I'll try installing guppy and see whether that shines a light...
Thanks!
Jose
