I can reproduce this on an OSX 10.8 system, both using python 2.7 and python 3.3. The growth is significantly less using python 3.3. What's odd is that the growth does not occur when both test_iter calls use 1<<24 as the argument (or larger values). If I'd had to guess I'd say that the free implementation doesn't return a buffer to the system for smaller blocks and does do it for larger buffers.
