Instruments, Increase in Allocations of iPhone application

Question

I am using UIPageViewController to load multiple view controllers. When I run my application in Instruments tool. I found that the allocations are moving to high margin. Though I am releasing and making the class object to nil. The allocations keep on increasing when I move to and fro . What am I missing ?

Please find the screenshot

You are looking at the "Overall Allocations" figure. This number tells you how many objects have been created since the start of the process–the amount will never decrease.

If you want to know how many objects are there at a given time you have to look at the "# Living" column.
