this isn't normal.

do you start your tests with Ant directly or with the webtest.{sh|bat}
script? In this later case I guess that ANT_OPTS are not taken into account.

It seems to me that there are some problems (ThrowExceptionOnScriptError
as header, strange organization in different tests that seem not to make
sense, ...) but nothing that should bring memory problems

I think that it could be greatly improved using property files and one
file per test to allow to invoke a single test at one time, what is more
efficient at dev time.

in fact this is now hidden in webtest.xml, which you should only import
once. The doc needs to be updated.

why do you need different files?
