DataSet.ReadXML

I have a small xml document that I bring into my application by reading the
xml file with a dataset:

Dim ds As New DataSet
ds.ReadXml(fileName)
' Do some work with the tables in the dataset
ds.Close()
ds.Dispose()

The data is fine, and I can use the tables in the dataset with no problems.
However, if I put this in a loop I noticed that the memory usage goes up by
about 150KBytes each time the ds.ReadXml method executes. The total size of
the xml file is about 1KByte. My application is a Windows Service that will
hit this 4 to 5 times a hour, so I can't afford any memory growth. The
memory leak (if that is what it is) is a direct result of the ds.ReadXml
method.

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.
 
Are you using task manager to measure the usage? They are notoriously
buggy.
 
Thank you for your response.
Yes, I was. Can you suggest a better alternative?
