Comment(by jpflori):

 For info, resetting ZZ._action_hash to {} is not sufficient to let the
 IntegerMulAction be garbage collected.

 Objgraph shows 3 objects pointing to the abelian group of points of the
 curve (itself pointing to the curve):
 - the IntegerMulAction
 - the point at infinity (?)
 - a dict of size 11 which is in fact an attribute
 (_Scheme__ring_point_homset) of the curve (as a scheme) itself.

 I'd be happy to test a weakref for values version of your patch regardless
 of the spedd impact.
