I think the reason no one replied is that the question is hard to answer... For what it's worth, in my experience CF5 tends to keep any memory that is has allocated and not return it to the OS. This was a change from CF4, and generally it improves performance (of CF). I'm not sure why it would continue to grab more memory on subsequent pages though, but it doesn't necessarily mean there is a true memory leak that will lead to failure (unless it already is failing for you).
