Re: Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Re: [Dynapi-Help] Repeat - mem leak question

Yup .. thats right. On a PC.
On a mac the default memory setting for both ie and ns is 
pretty low. And when that runs out, your out of memory.
Offcourse you can set that to a higher value yourself 
pretty easily.. but the defaut user probably doesn't.

I had that problem when constructing a menu in dynAPI1.
Running out of memory the whole time...
Had to redo it and drastically decrease the amount of Layers
from around 100-200 to around 30.
But I believe that DynAPI2 is a lot better at memory usage. 
There's still some room for improvement, though :)

BTW, anyone has an idea about how to flush memory on PC for 
IE..? It seems that it allocates memory for each new page 
load.
