Summary: Huge memory consumption during changing process

Initial Comment:
As soon as the changing process (putting/saving of pages) is started, interwiki.py (r5440) consumes more than 100 MB of memory (RAM+Swap) if bot is working on many wikis. Memory usage grows during changing process. When changing process is finished, the memory suddenly gets flushed. Memory usage is normal again then, but only until the next 'putting-pages process' proceeds ;-)

On low memory systems that does even lead to:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-minimal.c: 84: __libc_memalign:
Assertion `page != ((void *) -1)' failed!

Does that have to do with BeautifulSoup.py?
The revision that used (c)ElementTree did not cause that kind of bug!
