[yt-users] Memory leaks and volume rendering

[Sam Skillman]

Hi John,

Additionally, adding 'del cam, image' at the end of each loop should help
considerably.  The camera object contains the homogenized volume roughly
equal to the size of the entire dataset for one field, so I'm guessing that
is where most of it is coming from.

Let us know if that doesn't help.
