I don't know how much memory the procedures etc. are using, but Firebird
does not release memory after operations. The assumption is that
subsequent commands will also require memory. Rather than release and
reallocate, possibly fragmenting memory, Firebird allocates from the
operating system into its own memory manager, which consolidates free
memory for reuse.

For the same reasons, and a few even better reasons, Firebird never
releases disk space.

Good luck,
