Great! Just curious, does the memory free up without the gc.collect()
call?

VTK has improved off screen support for Linux and Mac in CVS. I don't
know why those changes did not make it into the VTK-5.0.3 release.
BTW, I hate to say it but under win32, this should not be a problem
since win32 has a native offscreen context that has been working for a
while.
Your realistic options are, 1) to upgrade VTK to a CVS version or, 2)
to use the framebuffer approach which is described here:
