It's quite possible that AppKit and Foundation do some caching of their own,
and it is really not possible for you to get an absolute answer. What you
can do is perform the same action in your app multiple times to see if the
memory use keeps going up each time, or if it plateaus--if the latter then
it's a pretty good bet that the libraries are just caching some things.
