The calls run on the search's worker threads, which have no autorelease pool, so each call's autoreleased
command buffers and every buffer they held lived until the thread exited: about 7 MB per call. The Bragg
engine already runs its calls in a pool. On an Apple M6 this removes a 4-5 GB rise of 4nwv's peak
footprint seen with more Metal calls, and probably the rotation-function build's unexplained +1.7 GB; a
20-call worker-thread test grew 0.41 -> 0.55 GB before and stays flat after. Output unchanged.
