To me

	This macro should be used to create commands that would be used in  
the same way as \rmfamily, for example.

(centre of page 5 of the fontspec manual) is quite clear,  
\newfontfamily and \newfontface create named macros to be used later  
(after definition). And repeatedly.

These commands seem to use free font descriptors from the format. And  
they don't or can't reuse them even when they are using the same  
parameters. So the pool of free font descriptors can get used up even  
in a simple file.
