In my experience, yes.

No, you only need to restart the PLT web server process.  This is a very
quick procedure (less than a second).

In the applications I've tried, memory usage does grow steadily over time.
How fast is going to depend on your application and load, obviously.  I
haven't spent any time attempting to measure or diagnose this - restarting
the PLT web server takes care of it, and that's acceptable in my case.  (For
all I know, I might have some kind of leak in my applications, but I don't
think so.)
