Comment:

 An anonymous tipster that doesn't want to take credit reported:

 > The excessive memory consumption looks like it's mostly down to dangling
 references to `Spy_REST_Server` due to using `$this->server`, preventing
 garbage collection. Removing this var and replacing with a direct call to
 `rest_get_server()` gets running `phpunit --group restapi` locally down
 from 466.00MB to 102.00MB, and running the whole single site test suite
 from 502.20MB to 134.20MB

 41641.1.diff implements such. I've verified the results locally.
