The internal interface would not dispose of DOMs on its own
when appropriate before, and now the OO interface gives the
developer hooks to call dispose on the internal result DOM
generated by the transformation.
Also, there seems to have been some other large mem leak plugged
in the past couple months, probably from changing some copy node
behaviors &/or disposing of them properly, such that the process
of just running the transformations barely leaks at all, and should
be fine for use under persistent mod_perl.
