Okay. Are these fixed already? If not, I'd be happy to commit those. > > The tile data are never released if I remember correctly.

I remember having a conversation about memory usage with Mathias, but I'm a bit fuzzy about the details. Earlier versions of FlightGear did delete tile related memory, but that could come at the cost of occasional "Catching up on Tile delete cue" alerts and very poor performance. If I'm correct, that error would be specific to plib though. I'd be interested to hear Mathias' arguments. > > Let me ask a stupid question: Is the stuttering a plib-only effect for > you?
