Selenium RemoteWebDriver memory issues

I'm running a Selenium Standalone Server, version 2.25.0

I run a program in c# executing the driver by:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.HtmlUnit();
capabilities.IsJavaScriptEnabled = false;
IWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);

Then I collect some information via driver.FindElement(By.).

everything works fine.

After i executed all

I quit the driver by:

driver.Quit();

The test works fine. But when I take a look into the task-manager while executing I can see "java.exe" (the selenium server) grabbing memory and afterwards not releasing it.

How can i solve this problem? Any Ideas?

hmm.... comparing to my code:

public class BaseSeleniumTest extends SeleneseTestBase {
    static WebDriver driver;



    @BeforeClass
    public static void firefoxSetUp() throws MalformedURLException {

          DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();


        driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://192.168.4.52:4444/wd/hub"), capability);




        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1920, 1080));
    }
    @Before
    public void homePageRefresh() throws IOException {
        driver.get("login.base.url");
    }


    @AfterClass
    public static void closeFirefox(){
        driver.quit();
    }

.....
}

I do not have such memory issue. Grabbed memory was released. Could you provide the way you declare and initialize (creating instance) driver ?

enter image description here

Investigated a lil bit more: HtmlUnit appears to be leaking memory; what's the deal? Make sure (a) that you are using the latest version of HtmlUnit, and (b) that you are calling WebClient.closeAllWindows() when you are finished with your WebClient instance.
