Would it perhaps be an option to have the import system only import e.g.
only 1000 revisions at a time? This would make the memory leaks less of
a problem, and it should make the scheduling of code imports a bit
fairer, since large branches would not keep the system busy for a long
time. 

The overhead of resuming an existing import should be relatively small.
