Maybe it has a memory leak somewhere* (does not unset variables). I will 
need to profile, but this has to wait until refactoring to use 
t3lib_http_request.

* If I recall right, it first gets the list of links, and then runs the 
linkchecker on each of them. Maybe it does not unset the linkchecker and 
thus holds the content of each in memory.
