Doh! ;-) I'll make some longtime stability tests, to verify this. The memory leak should also occur if you use the store, except if you forget to remove the entries. At the moment, the concept of the XSLTC(and other) doesn't make any sense, because you compile all used stylesheets for every request :-/ I'll try to check this, Stephan Michels.
