I have had the same problem with NSImages, large loops and large
amounts of data. What I do is create one NSImage and then create
NSBitmapImageReps inside the loop (instead of NSImages) and switch
them in and out of the NSImage (via removeRepresentations and
addRepresentations) This seems to work.
It is a hassle in that you can't use the convience function of
initWithContentsOfFile:

What "memory" goes up? How are determining that memory usage is
increasing?
Also the logic in you loop is rather over kill IMHO...
for ( i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSImage *img = [[[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:self]
autorelease];
if ([img isValid]) { // or just check for not nil ... note a
message to nil is a no-op)
... do your stuff here ...
}
[pool release];
}
