I confirm this behaviour with build 82 on mako.
To illustrate it I made the following test:
Start and stop dialer-app every 6s (reasonable delay to give time to the application to start and stop)
The application is started with: start application APP_ID=dialer-app
and stop with a kill.

I captured RSS measured by ps after each stop and made 2 runs with Mir and 1 with SF. The result is attached.
I shows that RSS usage of init with Mir is much higher the SF and growth is exponential while it is linear with Mir.

As a side note, the number of samples with Mir is limited to less than 50 because the phone stops responding at this moment while it continues to run fine with SF. This is reproduceable.
