Is your code using bzrlib publicly available? It's possible some
simple changes on your side would resolve the issue of many ssh
connections. Even if not, it would be useful to see how we could
improve the bzrlib apis to make doing the kind of things you need
easier.

It seems likely that you're getting a new connection per operation.
The underlying python objects are probably sticking around long enough
to need a full gc run to collect, which would then also close the
sockets and child processes, hence the up and down.
