Out of curiosity, why every half hour?

So there's a memory leak somewhere.

Your impression is correct.  Note that reloading an application may have
associated memory leaks.  For example, look for static references that
are not properly discarded on shutdown.  This and related issues have
been discussed many times on this list in the past: perhaps searching
the archives will yield more clues.
