Tests pass, but I'm having memory issues.

For example, I start DrRacket from the command line: the window opens, then spends 15 seconds gc-ing before showing the "Welcome" message.  Memory usage 162.50 MB.
Open ".../collects/picturing-programs/tests/rotating-triangle.rkt"; no problem.
Close it (don't even run it) and open it again.  A few seconds of gc; memory usage is now 284.77 MB.
Close it (don't even run it) and open it again.  10 seconds of gc; memory usage is now 314.92 MB.
Close it (don't even run it) and open it again.  13 seconds of gc; memory usage is now 517.98 MB.
Close it (don't even run it) and open it again.  15 seconds of gc; memory usage is now 489.95 MB.
Close it (don't even run it) and open it again.  15 seconds of gc; memory usage is now 708.88 MB.
Close it (don't even run it) and open it again.  12 seconds of gc; memory usage is now 595.05 MB.
Close it (don't even run it) and open it again.  32 seconds of gc; memory usage is now 816.63 MB.
