Note that the image cache will start discarding blocks on it's own when it is full. I think the default cache is about 64MB. I don't think that flushing the cache should be part of normal applications operations, though if you are very tight on memory you might want to alter the default size. Note that the cached blocks are discarded when the dataset is closed.
Thanks - I didn't realize this as happening. My memory usage appeared to be growing, but I didn't look that closely. A little experimentation showed that max_cache = 40960K (at least in my build, which is pretty much a default setup), and indeed once max cache is reached there is no growth in the memory usage.
