[softwarelist] Re: OvationPro and memory allocation

Looking at the task display, I notice that the application task space for
OvationPro constantly flichers when entering text into an OvPro window.
This would imply that OvPro is claiming and releasing wimp application
memory blocks on a more or less constant basis.


If it is claiming and releasing memory, so what?

When you hit a key in OP, a lot of things can happen. Suppose the line of text contains an embedded irregular picture frame. All sorts of claiming/releasing memory and rendering will take then place each time the text changes.

I agree that in the interests of efficiency OP should not be claiming and releasing memory on each key stroke if it can help it.

I will have tried to avoid this situation, but it is hard to know exactly what happens. As has just been said there may be applets loaded that do things on each key stroke.

So it is hard to answer.
