Dude, read my blog :) There is no background/threading in the player per-se. GC is kicked off when try to allocate memory from the player's heap and the player is trying to avoid asking the OS for more memory. Totally synchronous, happens during the "new", and can delay the time until the next render.

I'm just worried about bugs creeping into some funky-stuff I'm doing using the Dictionary class :) -Josh -- "Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls.
