--- Comment #14 from Pierre Fritsch <pierre.fritsch.work at googlemail.com> ---
For others battling with the memory increase in Safari when changing an image src, there's a work around until this bug is fixed: 

Store the image binary data in a `Blob` object, `createObjectURL` to represent this blob, and assign this URL as the `Image.src`. Finally, `revokeObjectURL` before switching to the next image.

Note that this method assumes the usage of Data URIs. If you need to read existing image files, you would have to load the images on some server and to pass them to the browser as data URIs in order to avoid the creation of `Image` objects in WebKit.
