Indesign: Retains memory after document closed... WHY??

So.. I often work on large Indesign documents with multipage imports... Indesign seems to not release the memory needed for each document when they are closed from the program. Only shutting down Indesign completely releases the memory... WHY? Closing a document should immediately release memory back to the system so I can open another large Indesign file without causing my system to become impacted.

Thoughts?

Hmm.. never mind... I think it is the Multi-page importer script that is building and building memory but not releasing it when complete. After running the importer 4 times in a row, my memory usage is huge..

but if I just and open and close the files after a restart, it works as expected. So.. the culprit is the multi-page importer script that someone wrote poorly... Sorry to bother you!
