I'm trying to track down a nasty memory leak in a solver, and I've
noticed an increase in memory use for the below code, which I didn't
expect. It's not significant enough to explain the problems that I have,
but I did expect that the below code should not leads to any increase in
memory use. From a quick look, the memory use appears to come from

    # JIT-compile element to get ufc_element and ufc_dofmap
    ufc_element, ufc_dofmap = jit(self._ufl_element)

Should this be expected?
