I can easily believe we're not freeing a cache or that there's some
other very legitimate (as in definitely broken) memory leak involved.
The migration tool was really intended as one-off tool that would be
sufficient for most everybody. I'm sorry it's biting you. It may well be
worth prodding at the process to see what specifically is taking up so
much memory and whether that gives you any clues for where to focus your
optimization efforts.
