Thanks everyone for your help. Dave Yasel, Im not mip-mapping My animation is around one frame every 4 seconds. A slideshow if you like, Rather Than a movie. Im already using your threading Idea. infact Ive just found a Major . I revisited the threading and found that I was constructing a new thread every time without disposing of the old one. I was accidently declaring the thread as a local Variable to the processStimulus method, hence the stratsopheric ramblings of my memory usage.
It now works fine!! Dave Schachter Yep im using 2n Jpegs already but thanks anyway John See threading issue above You were right! But do you know Just how big is to big? And can you suggest a different method for loading that I could look at in the future?

This gets rid of a lot of processing and data copying.
