Note, that this problaby isn't that bad of a problem in the real world.  We
have a xen box with 4g and 20 domains(including dom0).  64g ram for dom0(128m
swap).  It's been up for 84 days, and python only has 15m in use for xend.

My guess is that as long as you don't do a lot with xm/xend, the memory usage
won't grow.

ps: the above box is running 2 tinderboxes constantly in an instance, and
running a busy mailserver, all over nfsroot.  It's been rock solid(except for
nfs issues, which aren't xen related).
