This is a known problem in IronPython. The code generated using Evaluate is currently not generated as garbage-collectable code. This is a something that we have yet to fix. In the meantime what might help is pre-compiling the code and then execute/eval the code already compiled.

Current IronPython release seams to not release all the resources, because the memory usage of simple console application doubles in size from 62MN to 120MB, and analyzing .Net Profiler GC graphs there is a linear increase in memory usage. I run the same test using Boo (http://boo.codehaus.org/) and there was no problems. I am interested in using IronPython as a scripting language for my application. Is there a release date for production ready IronPython? Andrew ConsoleProgram.cs ...

That way, I'll know about the issue, and will see any answer -- particularly one of the form "it's a bug, but we won't be able to fix it for a while [because ...], so do this instead" or "we'll fix it soon, but for now here's a workaround" or "not a bug, because ...".
