Now I can also confirm that neither $HistoryLength = 0 nor ClearSystemCache[] has any effect on the memory consumption of Mathematica when using ListContourPlots and similar functions. The memory usage, indicated by the "top" command (Linux), is still large. More annoying is the fact that this slows down the Mathematica interface enormously: clicking on some plot now takes a few seconds until the plot is selected, saving your notebook can take up to 30 seconds. Maybe this is also related to the general "strangeness" of the Linux version of the notebook interface. My system: openSuse 10.3
