That bug might answer the crash problem which seems to be Windows related; as most of our Users are using Windows that is good. However this does not address the overall problem of the increasing slow memory management as memory allocated and used by OO increases when large files are processed, be they of graphics or just text file handling. It may be that the fundamental logic underlying the file structure and its processing will not permit of any improvement in this (I don't know - it is currently beyond my knowledge), but often a change in the algorithm used will allow an improvement in a program bottleneck.
