Okay, after running the script for a half-day, I can say that there's a subtle leak in my use of Cairo (here, it's about 4k each minute.) Also, I discovered an outrageous memory problem with Pango 1.20.5 (which is the latest for Heron.) If you have a `para` that ends with a newline, the app's memory footprint will double! One newline will do it and it has to be at the end. It's in the Pango layout code somewhere. > What do you use to profile or detect leaks? I use some unreleased code I wrote that dumps all the Ruby objects into a sidecar Shoes window. I haven't got valgrind working with Shoes just yet. I hope to release the code soon. _why
