Yep... There is a memory leak in write.mzdata. You can show this if you just write the same data over and over again. Memory usage will increase. I tried to look at the code some time ago but couldn't find an obvious problem.
I hope someone will find time to fix this issue soon as I too wanted to use xcms as a batch converter.
I am hoping that the writing routine can be made more efficient too. It seems illogical that writing is so many many times slower than reading the data; maybe this is my lack of understanding of what needs to be done though. As I remember reading the code it looked like it is adding one scan at a time to the file. Maybe this is not an efficient way?
