Well, that must be it. Sitting here at my PC I see the Opera memory usage zoom to 76Mb as I build 27 crystals in the maleic.cif collection up to 3x3x2, and Netscape is at 126Mb from similar use. I'm certain these would have crashed that Linux browser long ago, and my guess is that's the issue with the Macs as well.

Wouldn't you sort of expect that when you build a really big crystal and then load a new crystal having just two atoms, that the memory usage should drop back down? But it doesn't -- it just plateaus and keeps up there. What's going on?

I'm worried that Jmol or Java is not properly dealing with memory allocation, specifically DEallocating memory after large molecules are replaced by small ones. What am I missing here?
