Thanks @shoyer , but closing the dataset explicitly also doesn't seem to be releasing the memory. ```bash Start: 185.5078125 MiB Before opening file: 186.28515625 MiB After opening file: 307.75390625 MiB Filename: temp.py

I also tried the context manager but the same memory consumption. ```bash Start: 185.5625 MiB Before opening file: 186.36328125 MiB After opening file: 307.265625 MiB Filename: temp.py
