This is definitely true.

hmmm. actually, that might be it. My FEBase::build is inside the
assembly routine.
I will move this out of the routine and update you on how things change.

What I was specifically asking is where code like
AutoPtr fe (FEBase::build(dim, fe_type));
Sits.
The issue is if it is inside your

Th
I reinit a fe object with only the same elem kind. Hence, that aspect
of reallocating memory space due to changing elem types does not seem
to be a problem.
Why would non-affine maps affect the memory footprint regarding
caching of information?
Since my mesh geometry does not change during

Hi,
For my application requiring the solution of a nonlinear transient
system, I am doing a reinit of the fe object per elem per nonlinear
iteration. For lar
Hi,
For my application requiring the solution of a nonlinear transient
system, I am doing a reinit of the fe object per elem per nonlinear
iteration. For larger systems this has started to be a major CPU time
expense.
I am now considering saving one fe per elem in memory so that I d
