out-of-memory error with AIR: are ther hard memory limits?

[Hans Nuecke]

Apologies for this not really Flex related question, but I'm sure there 
are many experienced users around with knowledge of AIR specific topics. 
So I wanted to give it a try...

When loading dozens of JPG images (compressed: ~ 2.5Mb, uncompressed ~ 
10Mb), my  Flex/AIR application stops with the "out of memory error" 
once about 1.6Gb of memory is used (data based on Scout).

This can be reproduced.

When I reduce the cache size my app is using for images. I can avoid 
that error. But since I have no control about what the users of my app 
are doing, I'd like to either find a way increasing the memory; or a 
clear statement (with a link if possible) that there indeed is a limit. 
Also for 64 bit systems.

I run Flex 4.16 with AIR 25, but could reproduce this error with Flex 
4.15 and AIR 25 also. Actually testing on a WIndows 10 64 sytem with 
24GB of RAM.

If you have a suggestion for a better place posting my question, please 
share (Adobe, SO, ...?)

Thanks

Hans
