Memory usage: (640x480): At run-time: 3964 Ko full screen, 500 Ko if putted in background (minimized) Running with choosen attractor set (preview mode only): Gaz -> 36512 Ko, minimized: 848 Ko, 3208 Ko returning full screen Liquid 33593 Ko, minimized: 836 Ko, full screen again: 3120 Ko Light: 40736 Ko, minimized: 852 Ko, full screen again: 3132 Ko Plasma: 41808 Ko, minimized: 848 Ko, on screen again: 3152 Ko Solid: 35936 Ko, minimized: 864 Ko, on screen again: 3120 Ko I didn't notice noticeable differences between types of attractors. On 1024x768 I noticed peaks of memory usage, up to 300 Mo, in first second of display in Light and plasma mode. After 2 seconds, memory usage is about 170 Mo and after a minimizing and maximizing it's about less than 40 Mo and stays at this level until I don't change rendering mode or don't load a parameter file, even if I press F3. It seems initialization of a graphic mode, especially light and plasma, requires lot of useless space in memory wich is only recoverd by minimizing Chaoscope. This new preview is a huge improvement over the older version!! Smoother, great ability for zooming, nicer, great job great Man ! The only thing I dislike is the new solid mode and it's poor lonesome spotlight. It looks like an old b&w tv display, not only in preview mode but in render mode too. By the way, it'a an alpha version, not a released one, maybe this explains that. For all other colored modes it's total renewal, excellent job Nicolas, go on! Have FUN !!!
