Hi every Chaoscopers and especially alpha testers

Here's my comments about the new preview on the version 0.3 alpha.

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 !!!
