[mono-android] Simple project with massive memory leak

[Gusman]

Sayed, you are helping no one.

John is triying to know if the webclient leaks memory, so he wrote a cyclic
app which calls DownloadString recursively to test those leakages.

John, my experience, at least on Windows is that the webclient leaks memory
with async calls.
Using workerthreads is only a workaround to use synchronous calls, not a
good idea(less performance and higher resource usage).

You are creating anonymous delegates and a new webclient on each call, have
you tried to reuse your items?

My advine is to use a HttpWenRequest and use Its async methods.
