there may be a problem elsewhere. I would look at the addons you have installed and maybe see if anyone else has experienced memory issues. Be aware that some addons use data in a bad way. Relinker is useful, but also notorious for bad data handling, because it actively caches ALL links found in chat into a global variable, so that you can recall it whenever you want. Over the course of several hours, depending on how many, and how frequent links are seen in your chat window, this variable can get HUGE. This is just one example. There may be other addons with similar features that "Sniff" for data and cache it...

The nice thing is that Blizzard is adding relinker functionality as default in the client, and it will be grabbing data from your itemcache instead of a global variable. More efficient because it is an actively cached file and not a script variable that can use valuable memory...
