how are you measuring "used memory"? If using the system monitor thingy I dont think it will show any internal releases of memory inside the JVM at runtime.
Im sure I listended to someone say something about this at one point, but I cant quite remember. I THINK the VM never releases resoursces that it has aqquired from the system until the instance quits. What is it that you think is needing more memory once the balls start moving around? I wouldnt say 40Megs is outrageous anyway :) N ----- Original Message ----- From: "Botha Levente" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 11:34 AM Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] A little help with code / system resource efficiency > Hi! > > I can't help you yet, but i saw your work.
