More data:  Tried the same thing with SDTS DLG file.  First file
load takes me from 10588 kbytes to 14508 kbytes, then it stays
stable as I pan/zoom (which reads the file in again), actually
dropping slightly to around 14476 kbytes.

With Shapefiles, the memory just keeps climbing each time I load a
file.  A lot.
