Hi Bruce, I think that there should be a limit that is by default turned on and set to a value of something like 50 groups. This feature should be configurable so that the user, under a warning, can turn it off or change the group limit. Easy and configurable = plus 2cents. It occurs to me that a better way would be for Ifeffit (or Athena) to keep track of how much memory swapping is going on. Once it reaches some large but safe value, a warning is sent to the user. In this scenario the deleting and reading in a bunch of new groups would also trigger the warning. This seems like it would be hard to implement = negative 2cents. I'm even.
