nah -- lets figure it out ;)

there could be quite a few places where things could be more efficient.

I would recommend to run your example (still not sure which one
particular) with following environment variables

MVPA_DEBUG=.* MVPA_DEBUG_METRICS=vmem,tbc

so smth like

 MVPA_DEBUG=.* MVPA_DEBUG_METRICS=vmem,tbc python smlr.py 2>&1 | tee smlr-debug.output

on linux -- that would dump output to screen as well to a file (for more
convinient inspectioin later on)

what you will see is like
[DBG             ] DBG{VmSize: 127924 kB}:    Registering metric <mvpa.base.verbosity.TraceBack object at 0x23156d0>

Where VmSize would give you information on memory utilization -- just
watch then where it grows considerably (there will be also shortned
version of traceback included)
