Hi Dan,

Thank you very much for freely sharing your time,
skills and software.

I can imagine mlt becoming even more popular.

The main reason I'm writing is I happened to
notice a plan to use mlt_pool by default.

Maybe you remember it resulted in a large,
wasteful memory footprint back in March.

(That email follows.)

You very reasonably and responsibly anticipated
more testing.

Humble suggestion: 

Use my little kdenlive project to test if mlt_pool
still uses too much memory.

All my files are at

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=890848
    
I'd like to avoid a regression.

Thanks,
Kingsley
