I had a similar huge problem with pictures. I found it to be this: When I made a new picture, even if using an existing control, the old picture still consumed the memory - it wasn't freed. I solved it by doing (recalling from memory so I may have syntax wrong) picture.clear which deallocated the memory then making the new picture. It chewed up all the memory keeping the old pictures and was a brain teaser. -Fernando
