From a quick check with Instruments, it looks like internal WebKit stuff is retaining the view for callbacks even after it's done loading, then releasing it on a later pass through the runloop. I wouldn't worry about it unless you're actually leaking the object.

From what I can tell by watching several instrument runs, it seems like WebKit is internally caching stuff. If I go to cnn.com, I see a major memory bump, but I can go to it again and again and not see any increase, but when I go to a new website, say digg.com, I see another memory bump again. Even if I let the application run for a while, it never seems to go back down. The only reason I am using webkit is to grab these thumbnails, which happens once, and need to be refreshed very rarely, if ever. I'm trying to read up on how to alter the caching behavior of WebKit now.

Sounds like we have similar usage scenarios. You have to read the header to find out about caching behavior, but I set it to WebCacheModelDocumentViewer for lowest memory usage, since I draw the webview to a bitmap and never load it again. I also set the WebView prefs to disable plugins and other stuff as well; the code is all BSD licensed, if you're curious.
