So you make sure all the bits are right :> I can understand you being happy with linked lists; it's just that they're really inefficient spacewise. Since you're freeing far more memory at the moment, it's not an issue. Regarding recalculation being a problem, I want Suspend to always work.

So yes, I > like that one. You might be misreading me. When you set the image size limit setting in Suspend2, it's a soft limit. The image size wouldn't actually get down to 2 meg; Suspend would just aim for that and eat memory until it saw it wasn't getting anywhere.
