Comment(by SimonKing):

 The idea sketched in the previous comment seems to work!!!

 With it, after running
 {{{
 sage: for p in prime_range(10^5):
 ....:     K = GF(p)
 ....:     a = K(0)
 ....:     print get_memory_usage()
 }}}
 ends with printing 825.45703125

 Without it, it ends with printing 902.8125

 I don't know if we should ban caching of field elements?

 How could fixing that memory leak be demonstrated by a doc test?

 Anyway, I will post a preliminary patch in a few minutes (so that you can
 see if it fixes at least part of the problem for you), while I am running
 `sage -tp 2 devel/sage`.
