After that, doing a spaceTally show this entry which is very strange: 177842
instances of TextMethodLink
taking 10% of memory:
TextMethodLink 419 177842
4268208 9.90 24.00
This is especially strange as this is only used in Shout syntax highlighting…
Maybe this is the bug we fixed in Pharo3 that made completion hold on to
editors?
All in all, we did put quite some effort into finding memory leaks in Pharo3,
some of which might have been there
allready in Pharo2.
