I think you will see this if the tuples are inside functions, or other
persistant objects.

It would be foolish of me to try and deduce too much from that, even
if I speculated as to how much time, and how slight the increase was.
Perhaps you could extract any suspect blocks of code and create a
harness
to run them repeatedly, looking for a clear indication of a memory
leak.

All the best,
