Significant? You should see no leak at all, shouldn't you.
AppleScript leaks may prove long to find. AppleScript may live on its
memory tank for minutes, and then all of a sudden, allocate a beautiful
slice of RAM, to compensate for a small leak.
So, be inflexible (you must not neglect even a small leak) and be patient
(wait minutes before you state there is no leak).
