FWIW, my application uses a different JSVGCanvas for each image
displayed and we don't see any leaking memory after loading
several images.

Are you sure that you're not retaining a reference to some object somewhere
that might indirectly reference the JSVGCanvas?

FYI here's what we invoke when discarding a JSVGCanvas object:

         canvas.stopProcessing();
         canvas.dispose();

Try adding one or both of those when you discard to see if that helps...
just a wild guess.
