As long as VIRT memory size does not go constantly up during some speical kind of use of cinelerra, there is no leak.
slowly different caches will get filled in cinelerra during different uses, which will mean that memory consumption should go up, but not constantly and it should top at some number. if it does not top, then there is a leak. as long as you are not experiencing extreme swapping due to memory exhaustion, why are you bothered at all? bye andraz On Mon, 2007-02-12 at 22:27 -0500, Scott C.
