Hi Robert -- My understanding of the DatabasePager is that PagedLOD children that are not visible in the current view volume should eventually "expire", which I assume means be unloaded from memory. OSG would then have to reload such children from disk if they ever came back within range. However, I am not seeing a decrease in process size when PagedLOD children are not visible. Please let me know if I've somehow misunderstood the intent of the DatabasePager and PagedLOD. If I understand correctly, the default expiry delay is 10 seconds, so I should see children being deleted after they are moved outside the view volume for 10 consecutive seconds. FYI, I'm attempting to cook my own paged database for a tiled OpenFlight terrain database. I'm doing this with a top-level Group node with several PagedLOD child nodes, one for each tile in the database. Each PagedLOD has its own explicit center and radius based on the tile location and size. So, if you think the issue might be misconfiguration of the PagedLOD nodes, then I'd say this is possible, though I can't see what I might be doing wrong from looking at the PagedLOD and LOD headers. I'm using osgViewer, so DatabasePager config is handled automatically.
