 Reported by "plugd" on IRC:

 {{{
 (import (chicken string)
         (chicken gc)
         (chicken io))

 (let loop ()
   (print (conc "Memory statistics: " (memory-statistics)))
   (eval '(begin (import (chicken string)) (print "Hello.")))
   (read-line)
   (loop))
 }}}

 I checked, and CHICKEN 4 also exhibits this behaviour, so it's not
 something new we recently introduced (as I remember we've been putting
 some effort into optimizing library imports)
