Monitoring your memory usage with Activity Monitor is pretty unreliable. First, which memory field are you watching (Virtual Private Memory, Real Private Memory, Real Shared Memory, or Real Memory)?

Second, when your code makes an allocation request, that typically goes, directly or indirectly, to the malloc routines. The malloc routines try to satisfy your request from the memory that it already has. If it can't then it requests more from the system. When you free memory, it goes back to malloc. Malloc does not necessarily return it to the system. It may keep it to more quickly satisfy future requests. So, you may not see your process's memory usage go down, at least not all the way, even if your program is releasing everything it allocated.

The proper way to check that your program is managing memory correctly is to use Instruments with the Leaks and Allocations tools.

1) Turn on iCloud in your entitlements. In Xcode, you can find 'em in your target, under the Summary tab, at the bottom. Turn on 'Enable Entitlements' and press + on the iCloud Containers list.

2) You get a folder. Stuff in it gets synchronized around. This is the easy part. You can use the -[NSFileManager URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier:] call to find out where the container is.
Extra notes: The identifier is whatever name Xcode added to the list in step 1. Make sure you call this at least once, because calling this turns on all the iCloud stuff in Foundation. If iCloud is turned off, this will return nil.

3) This folder is organized like a home folder. Yep, this means this one can have a Documents folder, a Library, whatever. You have to create those folders if you want to use them.

4) Looking at the folder directly is not useful. (Some of the files may not have sync'd yet, so they're not yet in the folder.) Use NSMetadataQuery. This will give you all files, including those not downloaded yet.
