The thing to bear in mind there, is that these releases are
DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOTS. They are not release code. They are absolutely
*crammed* with debugging tables, checking code, malloc wrappers, etc,
etc, etc. This stuff all eats memory, and slows the thing down. The
binary releases are compiled with *no* optimisation, and with a ton of
debugging symbols.
These milestone snapshots are exactly that. Please remember that when
you check them out.
The renderer itself is incredibly undemanding in terms of RAM and cpu
cycles.
If you don't understand how software development works, please wait
for an official release.
Tom.
