I have run the garbage collector at the start of every iteration and I
set all imageprocessors, imageplus's, particleanalyzers etc to "None"
manually (the jython equivalent of 'null'). Also, I used the visualVM
tool to check a bit what was going on.
I managed to decrease the buildup of memory, but I haven't been able
to stabilize it completely. It might be a 'non-proper' programming
thing after all. The script is becoming a bit cluttered anyway. I am
going to convert from jython to pure java and tidy it up in the
process. Hopefully that will solve it.

Thanks for your support!
