Well, the next question is, does EVERY time you run it, does it lose 4%, or 
only just the first time?

If it's only the first time, and subsequent runs don't lose any more, it 
MIGHT be a leak, or it MIGHT be a resource (like a .DLL) that loads and 
keeps itself loaded.  Keeping itself loaded might be intentional (in case 
anyone else wants it too) or it might be an oversight, hard to say without 
inspecting the app in detail.  For instance, sometimes DDHELP will get 
loaded and stay loaded.

If that's the case, I myself wouldn't worry too much about it.  If, 
however, every single time you run it deducts another 4% from your memory, 
until eventually you run out, then that's an honest-to-goodness leak and 
would need to be fixed.
