Totem doesnt release memory when going to next file

[Morlok8k]

queue up some video files (I first noticed this on some large (800MB) .mkv files: 1080p, H264, 24fps, AAC audio)
bring up the system monitor, and watch the memory usage for totem go up and up as the video plays.
at the end of the first video, memory usage is around 600-900MB. when the second video starts playing, it will not drop down, but continue going up and up.

My computer gets glitchy when it starts getting into the 900MB-1GB range of memory usage, but thats a symptom of just not enough RAM, and the fact that totem just doesnt release its memory usage (or at least not fast enough, if it does at all)

My only option on these large video files is to: watch one, close totem, and then watch another, and repeat.

Could you test if this memory leaking bug exist in new totem 3.4 version? Totem 3.4 fixes lots of bugs, which exists in 3.0.1, which is in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
