I wouldn't say it leaks memory. After you close the dialog, the process
is gone. If you do another update, a new process is started, so you
can't leak memory from one process to another.

The cache increasing the memory use over time is normal and expected. I
would only worry if it increases a *lot* without any obvious reason.
If you keep the cache running for a week, and its memory still increases
while you're doing "nothing", then I'd be a little worried.
