I had the same experience that memory was not freed. This problem is
largely fixed in 1.2beta1, but you still have to tell the garbage collector
to run after you remove the branchgroup.

> I'm having problems with the huge amounts of memory which Java3D

> cylinders (as you might guess a molecular graphics application). Is
> there a good way of reducing the amount of memory. I'm thinking about
> trying SharedGroups to which I attach only one sphere or
> cylinder. Then I could attach a Link to the various TransformGroups,
> which specify the atom and bond positions. Would this be slow or pose
> some problems?
>
> Another problem that I'm facing is that when I switch to another scene
> by calling replaceBranchGraph() the memory occupied by the old scene
> is not released (even with j3d1.1.3 and j3d1.2b1). I have read that it
> is sometimes necessary to detach the view to release memory. Please
> tell me how to do that exactly.
