Unfortunately the memory leak appears to be very difficult to fix (it's a leak in Python itself).

With regards to reboot time, you don't need to power cycle the whole robot. Clicking the "Reboot Robot..." button on the Driver Station Diagnostics tab only takes 20-30 seconds. Still non-ideal, of course, but much faster than a power cycle (the additional delay is due to the wireless network startup time).
