Ok, I've found the answer: http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2008/2008-07/1215447779000
I had tcmalloc installed but it wasn't meant to be used with pound but with mysql (it give it a huge boost). Uninstalling it and rebuilding pound solved the memory leak but in my humble opinion it would be better to add a configuration switch instead of linking against tcmalloc by default. Adios.
