> by rendering do you mean the copyPixels operation itself? yes, I meant the copyPixels operation, but I admit it was only a presumption that rendering masks would be too slow (I once tested the "background transparent" ink for sprites and found that I'd better not use that if I could avoid it.)

I didn't mean it was impossible to leak in Windows (if only!). So, ARE you PERMANENTLY losing 4% with each successive run, or are you reclaiming it after the program exits? At 10:48 AM 2/18/02 -0500, Carol Mahaffy wrote: > > 3) Do you get an additional 4% loss every time you run the program?

Repeat loops in and of themselves aren't culprits (what you do inside them might be). A little more information is needed: 1) Is this Mac or Windows? Macs (pre-OS/X) are notorious for horrible memory management. 2) Is this 4% a permanent loss, or just while it's running? If you exit the p
