Its only true for any memory created by using g_slice. g_free is the same as a free.

In my opinion, thats got nothing to do with it. I think the article is unreliable because of inequalities in the test environments: Evolution being compared to Kontact for example and (shock!) taking more memory. But I'd say this is offtopic for this list. iain _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
