You can say THAT again! I wonder if OSG people know that they should also throw out stuff from cache, not just put things in! I have been bold enough to use the CACHE_ALL for today's TGA multiplayer event ... at the end of the 6th hour or so, FG's memory usage reached 7.5GB, with the extensive swapping negating any eventual advantage of the caching. So, I certainly do not recommend setting this option on by default, until the behavior is fixed (such as by introducing a memory limit). -- Cheers, Csaba/Jester ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
