Comment #7 on issue 3222 by asmeu...@gmail.com: Memory problems with the cache
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3222

I completely agree. There was some discussion on the mailing list about this issue a month or two ago. The idea is to make the cache more local, so that it does its job for individual computations, but is cleared in between. Unfortunately, Tom, the person who was discussing it, was not accepted for GSoC (he was accepted by another organization), so this may not be fixed anytime soon. You can read his GSoC proposal https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSOC-2013-Application-Tom-Bachmann:-Removing-the-old-assumptions-module to see what the ideas were.

Of course, a much more tractable solution for right now would be to automatically clear the cache when it reaches a certain size. Do you know how to efficiently and accurately check how much memory is used by a Python object?
