> Is there a way to detect where is memory hold ?
Look at postgis code. We constructed rtree_gist index over 1e9 rows (on 8.0 
pgsql).



Is there an index-specific memory context for use
to early release memory blocks allocated during
operations (didn't see any use of memory contexts
in the contrib/rtree_gist) ?

8.1 pgsql has short lived memory context during index creation which resets after every insert. 8.0 hasn't this feature, so user-defined function (GiST interfface) should carefully clean memory.
