Comment:

 I developed a new approach in svgcard.py.
 The main problem was related to pixbuff memory usage, each card had their
 own pixbuff, now Memorize uses a cache saving just one pixbuf for each
 color/size needed.

 Adding the new create game mode, the memory usage grew up to 100-110Mb!
 Using the new approach the memory was keep around 28-30Mb. (Considering
 the value Approx Real Usage in Memphis).

 Anyway, I will keep one eye on it, looking for better ways to minimize the
 amount of memory usage.
 The new code is already committed in git and will be in next releases.
