I have now tested and reproduced this on two different Ubuntu 12.04 boxes. Both were tested with a vanilla Python-2.7.9 install and two different MKL setups *) composer_xe_2015.2.164 icc (ICC) 15.0.2 20150121 ifort (IFORT) 15.0.2 20150121 build: python setup.py build --compiler=intelem python setup.py install *) composer_xe_2013_sp1.1.106 ifort (IFORT) 14.0.1 20131008 gcc version 4.6.3 build: python setup.py config --compiler=unix config_fc --fcompiler=intelem install On both setups I use the following site.cfg [mkl] library_dirs = /path_to_intel_composer/mkl/lib/intel64/ include_dirs = /path_to_intel_composer/mkl/lib/intel64/mkl/include/ mkl_libs = mkl_rt lapack_libs = If I omit the MKL setup (i.e. build without) the 400 MB memory goes away. If I by any means can provide you with some valuable info, please let me know.
