Of course.  I expect to see a memory increase every time an object is added,
until the GC destroys it.  

I was wondering if there are any practical or theoretical limits, or am I
only limited by available system resources?

 Imagine that I write :

   100000.times do 
      a = XML::SaxParser.new
      GC.start
   end

 Do you accept to see the memory increase ?
