Doctrine leaks and there's not much you can do about it. Make sure you use $q->free() whenever applicable to minimize the effect. Doctrine is not meant for maintenance scripts. The only way to work around this problem is to break you script to parts which will perform part of the task. One way to do that is to add a start parameter to your script and after a certain amount of objects had been processed, the script redirects to itself with a higher start value. This works well for me although it makes writing maintenance scripts more cumbersome.
