[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55052] Memory consumption of figure command going up significantly from 4.2 to 4.4

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #55052 (project octave):

Another test I did was to switch the graphics toolkit to gnuplot.  In that
case, each new figure results in only a few tens of kilobytes usage. 
Presumably this is graphics_properties object.

In any case, it points to the problem being with the OpenGL toolkits rather
than our overall graphics code.

I don't like the crazy memory usage, but I don't think this is a blocker.  It
seems quite unusual to create hundreds of figures in an Octave session.  Most
of the time I find there are only a few open figures and they are re-used for
new plots.
