I think we should define memory leak. During the precompilation of the jsp pages, the resulting class files are also loaded by the classloader. This means of course, that the memory size increases. It is up to the garbage collector to remove the loaded classes from memory. In other words, it depends how long you wait after the precompilation with your memory measurement. If you look at the memory size immediate after the precompilation, the size is higher. If you wait a certain time frame and don't call any jsp page, the garbage collector should run and remove all unused instances of jsp classes.
