As a follow up, I've been experimenting here, and I'm wondering if
OvationPro's wimpslot size is too small? Would it be something as simple as
that?

I've just reproduced the earlier test (loaded 900 images into Variations
thumbnail viewer - it currently takes 35MB on the task display), but I've
increased the wimpslot value to 3000K and directly double-clicked on
Ovation's !RunImage file, so it's got a much larger wimpslot - loads of
frantic typing, scrolling through Variations thumbnails, randomly clicking
on images, dragging windows around the screen, more typing, cutting and
pasting into Ovation and more scrolling, viewing in Variations - and I've
been doing this for over 15 minutes now with no random pixels appearing.

I can't say it's conclusive because I've only done two tests, the one prior
to my previous posting saying I've reproduced it and this one.

However, it might be worth you trying to increase OvationPro's wimpslot and
seeing if it makes any difference - I'd say make it 3000k or so.
