There is a memory leak in the evaluation of multivariable polynomials:

Note that you first request the memory usage before assigning
"a=f(1,0,0)". But to some extend, I can confirm an increase of memory
usage (with Sage 6.2):

   sage: C.<x,y,z> = GF(2)[]
   sage: f = x^4+x*y^3+z^6
   sage: a = f(1,0,0)
   sage: get_memory_usage()
   176.08984375
   sage: for i in xrange(1000000):
   ....:     a = f(1,0,0)
   ....:
   sage: get_memory_usage()
   198.08984375
   sage: for i in xrange(1000000):
   ....:    a = f(1,0,0)
   ....:
   sage: get_memory_usage()
   222.08984375


We have an increase of 22-24 megabytes in 10^6 rounds, thus 23-25 byte per 
round.
Actually I wonder how such a tiny leak is even possible! In any case, it
should be fixed.

I'm getting more:

sage: import gc
sage: gc.collect()
182
sage: get_memory_usage()
292.03515625
sage: C.<x,y,z>=GF(2)[]
sage: f=x^4+x*y^3+z^6
sage: get_memory_usage()
292.19921875
sage: for i in xrange(1000000):
....:         a=f(1,0,0)
....:
sage: get_memory_usage()
338.19921875
sage: gc.collect()
11
sage: get_memory_usage()
338.19921875

(Sage 6.2, MacOS X 10.6 x86_64)
