Thank you all for the assistance!
I executed the environment using:
" java -Xrunhprof:heap=all,file= etc... myClass"
If I'm not wrong  I guess the problem is about a lot of retained image objects.
The largest is generated at trace 14522 by java3D texture loader, into the process 
stimulus of a Behavior that I use to change
some textures.
It looks like entire [B image arrays  are still "live" at the end of the program, even 
if I call myuniverse....removeAllLocales!
I included some parts of the output file. The "incriminated" trace is, of course, 
14522.

What do you think about these?
Is TextureLoader retaining memory or what?
And, by the way, is it there a way to bypass TextureLoader utility to load JPG 
textures?

Is it possible to:
1. Load a Buffered Image using ImageIO
2. Copy it into an ImageComponent2D
3. Create a Texture2D with the ImageComponent2D
4. Load the Texture into an Appearance
?

As far as I know it is not!
Texture2D setImage(.....) method is intented to load "mipmap" images, with fixed ( 
power of 2) height anf width, and is not useful.
Anyone can help?
Thanks,
Giuseppe
