I remember that I fixed a mem leak for next snap which was font related, but wmifs is no X client. Surprising is, that wmifs and wmibar use the same amount of memory in your scenario which is really odd. I just rechecked with: ; while true; do wmiir write /bar/2/data foo; donee in bash, and surprisingly the mem usage increases drastically, smells like a mem leak in old (soon obsolete) libixp/ramfs.c.
