After we are done releasing rows incrementally, we should drop the reference from the filter to the listener. A heap dump showed a global JNI reference to the filter, which then held onto the listener, which in turn held onto the filtered table, which held onto its parent that contained gigabytes of selected data. With this change I can run more incremental tests in a single container without restarting it.
Additionally, by requesting a refresh from our terminal notifications we can eliminate the inter cycle gap, which can distort tests that are fairly quick by doing nothing between cycles (e.g., a "2 second" test may end up with almost a second of wait time after the initial release.
