Now this is weird. I figured out the bug and it turned out that every time you call numpy.setmember1d in the latest stable release of numpy it was using up a ton of memory and never releasing it. I replaced every instance of setmember1d with my own method below and I have zero increase in memory. It's not the most efficient of code, but it gets the job done... def ismember(a,b): ainb = zeros(len(a),dtype=bool) for item in b: ainb = ainb | (a==item) return ainb I'll now go post this problem on the numpy forums.
