It appears that the new renderer doesn't release memory on zooming operations. Without any modifications to the document, just zooming in and out a number of times shows memory growth and memory that isn't released. If it's known and expected, okay, but it's just an observation I figured I would point out. The document I sent you off-list is a good test file for this behavior btw. (a follow-up to a valgrind reply seemed like it was a relevant place to comment)
Does you sample file contain (fairly complex) patterns?
We do have two reports about zooming-related memory leaks with files containing patterns for the current renderer already:
706294 Huge memory leak when zooming in & out complex pattern https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/706294
608944 Enormous memory consumption (memory leak? https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/608944
