Slow down - memory resource increase

After modifying the drawtest sample (see code below) and watching the
event log (with "resource" switched on)  I notice the same behaviour as
in our Tcl/Tk GM App: The memory resource increases permanently because
some amount is not freed correctly but there is no memory leak seen from
the operating system. The (windows) taskmanager shows permanently about
12 MB occupied RAM for the drawtest process.
So it looks like the calls to AcquireMagickResource and 
LiberateMagickResource are not in balance. I tried the same on Linux and 
in contrary to my previous experience it showed the same result.
