It's very difficult to give particular advice on what may be the cause without seeing the code. You can upload it in a file, on this site. (Use the green up-arrow FileManager icon on the editor pane's toolbar.)

Im using winxp and Maple 12 build 347164. Right from the start Maple.exe uses around 50 MB (according to task manager) + 12 MB when running the sheet. No cummulative memsucking though. After 5 times re-executing the whole sheet it's still 63 MB mem usage.

Thanks for checking...

Thanks for checking. I am still experiencing the problem, but at least I know it's probably confined to my computer. That'll (maybe) narrow done the problem. ~David

ok, even without rerunning

ok, even without rerunning the whole worksheet and only repeating the last three commands there's no memory leak.

not the whole sheet, though

Rerunning the whole sheet, which begins with a "restart", might not illustrate the problem. I suspect that in order to see the problem one would have to execute the whole sheet, and then repeat only the command that appears (3 times) right at the bottom. I interpreted it as that repeated execution of that particular command leads to the memory usage increase.
