'display' seems not to release memory until it exits.
If you do 'display *.jpg' for a large number of files total memory
used keeps increasing until all memory (including swap) is used up.
This does not happen with xv.

does not exclude the existence of evil; it leaves room for
discord; and yet we shall recognize that harmony nonetheless
exists, provided that discord serves to prepare the way and to
lead us back to harmony.
