I have been eliminating some memory leaks from the Shuffler, while running my SPike webserver. Things seem to have stabilised now. However, when inspecting the memory footprint, I see the dump at the bottom of this mail.

Now, in the grand scheme of things, 850.4kB might not be a lot, but I'm still wondering why it is still being occupied. I mean, I get that because I've been accessing timezones somewhere (though I'm still wondering where exactly), it needs to compile the current timezone. However, after having done that, the timezone compiler should have been freed, and it appears that it is not. Any clues as to why this is happening?
