AppleScript Editor eat memory

During test of Matt Neuburg script for Spurious Timeout (Apple Events bug) under 10.6.2, we discovered that looking Activity Monitor, the Real memory continue to grow and grow and never stop.
In our intensive test we reached more than 1 GB RAM used by AppleScript Editor.
We think that this is not "normal" even because in the same test under 10.5.8, the memory remain at 12/14 MB.
Any other user can confirm this?

We hope that Apple fix this (and also Spurious Timeout Bug) in next 10.6.3

Here below the Matt script:

set i to 0
repeat -- forever
	set i to i + 1
	with timeout of 5 seconds
		try
			tell application "Finder"
				count Finder windows
			end tell
		on error errMsg number errNum
			display dialog i
			error errMsg number errNum
		end try
	end timeout
	if i > 70000 then
		display dialog "You passed the barrier!"
		exit repeat
	end if
end repeat
