Hi,

I'm running the latest ImageJ with the latest LOCI Bioformats - and I've
noticed huge memory leaks.

If I open up a GB of images (slidebook format, imported with the LOCI
Bio-formats reader), process some, then close most, imageJ will report
only 100 MB of memory usage, but the Windows Task Manager reports the
JAVA machine is using over 2 GB!

I'm not totally sure this is related to the LOCI Bioformats plugin
either.  I believe that if I open a lot of TIFF images, process them,
then close most of them, the JAVA Machine again reports high memory
usage even though ImageJ reports very little.

Can somebody assist me in figuring out how to rectify this?  The problem
is that after a bit of image processing, my machine begins to bog down
due to increased memory swapping
