memory leak in matplotlib wxApp?

Hello, sorry to bother you but I did not find a reply

    > start matplotlib(even in tk mode), make a plot(x,y) with
    > x=randn(100,100). First it takes a lot of memory (more
    > than 50 Mb). And when you clear hte figure the meory

    > simple plot the first plot disappears but the memory is
