I have noticed that any objects stored in a requests attributes doesn't get finalized immediately after the completion of the request. The attributes get cleared in RequestImpl.initRequest(), but the resources aren't necessarily freed. I added a System.gc() after the initRequest() call in RequestImpl.recycle(), and was wondering if this is going to cause any problems...
