memory - why isn't it getting freed

[Brian Yennie]

Chris,

Also probably worth noting- with Valentina you can control the size of 
the cache, so if your data is small and you want to conserve memory, 
you can always make the cache smaller. Otherwise, shutting down the 
database is actually a pretty normal way to dispose of a cache- most 
databases want to keep the cache big and persistent to increase 
performance and so releasing the cache is actually one of the primary 
purposes of a shutdown method (other than closing connections to 
database files).

FWIW.
