If Eu does not give memory back to the OS, how is this happening?
On Windows, some memory allocations of sequences are cached, but there are limits. We only keep up to 2000 allocations cached, and each allocation must be 1024 bytes or less. Memory for atoms stored as doubles is allocated in chunks, and I don't think those chunks are ever actually freed back to the OS.
