Ciaran Jessup commented on ODE-573:
-----------------------------------

This patch looks excellent, my profiler had flagged up the NSContext instances, 
but I hadn't been particularly bothered by them as they were available for GC, 
and for me at least they didn't take up much space, but it will definately 
help, I'll test it ASAP ;)

> This is a meta issue to track all solutions geared towards reducing the 
> footprint of processes. Up until now, memory optimization of processes has 
> been an afterthought, and that calls for a change. There are a number of ways 
> in which we can reduce the in-memory size of processes, including but not 
> limited, to the following:
> a) Employ a flyweight pattern to share identical resources within the process 
> model. This is analogous to the approach taken by string interning, only we 
> want to it to be more generic.
> b) Refactor one or more parts of the process model in terms of a leaner and 
> meaner data structure. Since this may result in a structural change in the 
> serialized bytes of the process, care should be taken to maintain backwards 
> compatibility.
> c) Reuse shared resources across different process models. This involves 
> determining whether or not a resource is shareable, and if so, storing them 
> in a system-wide cache. A reference counting mechanism may be used to manage 
> the lifecycle of the cache.
> In the following comment, we will describe a solution based on approach (a).
