I am using TWM and yes it gobbles memory.

Disable/GC/Enable is indeed aomething do every once in a while.

No need for snapshots for this to occur.

A couple of Nautilus windows do the same.

Youcan close them all in TWM and still have them eat memory.

Do any of your (class/pool variable) singleton instances store data? add a #clearAll or #reset (mySingletonVar := nil) to the class side -- or whatever fits your app -- and do that before that #garbageCollect block. [In fact, put that in some XXXAdmin class]

Good Luck,
Cam

Hi all,

The official image i've downloaded weighted about 40 MB. Now its size is about 200 MB. What is the explanation? Is this normal or have i done something wrong?

I haven't been using globals, just downloaded and defined some packages. The only over persistent thing i've done is to keep an instance variable in some classes i wanted to have a unique instance.

Best,
Laura
