Possible AdMob memory leak?

Has anybody experienced memory leaks with the admob plugin on Android? I am trying to reproduce the error that I found in this thread, and have been playing with my app, loading and hiding various ads, suspending and resuming.

I have tested my app extensively over the past year and the memory usage on device rarely went above 60MB. After implementing admob I notice that it regularly goes above 100MB, and right now it is sitting at a whopping 260MB.

I have no idea what is causing this but it has me alarmed. Would constantly hiding and showing banner ads (like if I only show banner ads on the pause menu) do this? Does hiding an ad clean it up in memory?

Anybody else notice high memory usage with AdMob?

How specifically are you measuring memory usage?  I’d like to try it myself but want to make sure we’re measuring the same way.
