Jonas,
How's things? Got a quick (maybe quick) question. I have found that with
certain meshes my pxp is paging somewhat. With all the calculations that I
have made, my code could only be generating about 6mb of usage at any given
time and free's up the memory as soon as it is no longer necessary. We have
absolutely proven that fact! Does 3DS allow calls to free to actually free up
the memory at the time of the call or does it only free up after the ipas
'terminates'? On objects that do not page, there is absolutely no memory use
according to Current Status in 3DS, but if it pages at all, it's a lost cause.
Any one know of any Metaware compiler/ PharLap linker settings that could
affect this? Any thing else that I could have missed?
Thanks so much for your time,
doug
