When profiling my application I noticed that plenty of EventHandlers had never been deregistered from DelegateCommand's CanExecuteChanged-Event. So those EventHandlers were never been garbage-collector, which caused a severe memory leak.
As registering CanExecuteChanged-EventHandles is done outside application code scope I had expected them to be deregistered automatically as well. At this point I thought this might as well be a ThirdParty WPF control issue, but digging further I read a blog post stating that "WPF expects the ICommand.CanExecuteChanged-Event to apply WeakReferences for EventHandlers". I had a look into RoutedCommand, and noticed it uses WeakReferences as well.
I adapted DelegateCommand to use an implementation similar to RoutedCommand's CanExecuteChanged-Event, and the memory leak was gone. The same is true for CompositeCommand.
