I'm using xml.etree.ElementTree to parse large XML file, while the memory keep increasing consistently.

You can run attached test script to reproduce it.  From 'top' in Linux or 'Task Manager' in Windows, the memory usage of python is not decreased as expected when 'Done' is printed.

Tested with Python 2.5/3.1 in Windows 7, and Python 2.5 in CentOS 5.3.
