>From /proc/self/stat, which (for me at least) gives exactly the same number as psutil.Process(os.getpid()).get_memory_info().rss (I suspect psutil actually reads /proc/self/stat as well). Which brings up a point of your numbers > $ mpirun.hydra -np 1 python2 -c "$CMD" > 8 MiB / > 29 MiB > 226 MiB etc are way lower than mine. They are more or less in-line with my 3.2 tests, so something does not add up. My guess is "--with-64-bit-indices": if yours is with 32-bit indices, it's obvious you will get less memory consumption. Now, I need to apologise: my 3.2 test had 32-bit indices and all the old numbers I had for 3.3 did, tooo, but my 3.4.2 has 64-bit. I lately had to switch to 64- bit indices and that just happened to coincide with the move to 3.4 series. Perhaps this explains everything? (Of course, Barry's patch is still a good thing.)
