On each loop iteration, the amount of AllocatedAndUsed memory increases and never goes down. In "real life" application, it exceeded 1G.

"Reproducable" on MacOSX, but as I understand this is 'expected' behaviour on that platform.

Whenever you get a chance could you see if what I've done works for you as well? It's in master branch.

Problem resolved. Thank you.
