I just noticed that Python 2.6 has a win32.heapmin() that forces the malloc-heap to cleanup and return unused blocks to the OS. The C function should be there, so that might be something to look at? I assume unix:es has something similar, although fragementation of the system heap is not easily fixed in C++. Much easier in VM languages where you can move objects in memory without losing info.
