Soooooooo Slow & Memory Problems

My iBook Pro is running so incredibly slow. I get the rainbow wheel constantly. Even writing an email is painful. It will stop in the middle of a sentence when I'm typing, and then I'll have to wait until it's ready to finish the sentence. I get the error message that says I'm out of application memory consistently. It's almost futile to work ... and I'm a freelancer.... this is my life .... Apple please fix this soon or tell us what to do to fix! --- Despair in Arizona

Memory problem with loading a csv file and displaying 2 xy graphs

Hi there, i'm having some memory issues with this little program.
What i'm trying to do is reading a .csv file of 215 mb (6 million lines more or less), extracting the x-y values as 1d array and displaying them in 2 xy graphs (vi attacked).
I've noticed that this process eats from 1.6 to 2 gb of ram and the 2 x-y graphs, as soon as they are loaded (2 minutes more or less) are really realy slow to move with the scrollbar.
My question is: Is there a way for use less memory resources and make the graphs move smoother ?
Thanks in advance,
Ierman Gert

Hi lerman,
how many datapoints do you need to handle? How many do you display on the graphs?
Some notes:
- Each graph has its own data buffer. So all data wired to the graph will be buffered again in memory. When wiring a (big) 1d array to the graph a copy will be made in memory. And you mentioned 2 graphs...
- load the array in parts: read a number of lines, parse them to arrays as before (maybe using "spreadsheet string to array"?), finally append the parts to build the big array (may lead to memory problems too).
- avoid datacopies when handling big arrays. You can show buffer creation using menu->tools->advanced->show buffer allocation
- use SGL instead of DBL when possible...

InDesign CS4 memory problems

I have had memory problems with InDesign CS4 (and also with Photoshop CS4) for about a year now. If my file has a lot of pictures (100+) at some stage I get error message "Out of memory" . In the beginning it just have problems with redraw pictures (half of picture stays black), but also export to pdf is halted by same message and printing to file also. No problems in the beginning of large files or with files with text only. At one point InD just has enough and starts to behave like a ... Only solution is to export InD CS4 file as INX and continue to work in CS3 (but it takes a long time to match the text flow because textengine works differently). It's not monitor, because I have changed monitor during this year (from LaCie 22 blue IV to EIZO 27"). It seems that it's not video (NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX, 512 MB) also, because everything functions normally with CS3. I know, that it's not a proper video card for my work, but one likes to play Bioshock sometimes... Something strange happens with Photoshop CS4 also when I work for a long time without shutting down the program. After about editing 60+ pictures Photoshop CS4 begins to slow down (specially with using clone tool).up to impossible to work. You just have to wait while the cursor is dragging itself to right place an picture is redrawing itself. Seems like memory cannot empty itself and gets overloaded when working with CS4. No problems with Photoshop CS3. One cannot notice anything with small files. I can work with CS3 but there are features I would like to use in CS4.
Have anyone experienced anything similar?

Having exactly the same here. 16 Gb of ram in an 8 core 64 bits Vista system. Absolutely no infections on my system. Having great troubles getting my work ouputted.
I'm making an overview with 50 cards with pictures in them and bevels on the edges, dropshadows. It might be heavy but it is a normal question from my client.
I don't care if transparency is difficult for Adobe to handle. They shouldn't make it public if it is not properly tested. I am now so far as to make the composition in photoshop ( if that works)
What I thought was the problem is that I originaly placed indesign files in frames. But there is a great script out there on www.automatication.com to convert that in editable object again. Works great so check that out. But this didn't solve my problem. The effects used in these items are the memory consummers and Adobe is not freeing the memory properly.
Advise to Adobe: check also to dropshadows feature because this is not scaling up or down with the rest of the effect.
I'm am writing a realtime 3D renderengine here, if CS5 is not working fine, I might digg in to this one as well, getting a bit tired of waiting for properly working software.

I have Yosemite 16 gig mem and still have memory problems.

I have the new activity monitor which has that green line every one is talking about. I used to have only 4 gig and my computer was very slow then i upgraded to 16 gig and at the beginning it ripped. I started using Firefox on a site that had a lot of large JPEGs. after some time things started to slow down again, when i would try to save a JPEG it would take longer to see the line on " save image as " , after a while it got pretty slow not s bad as before but a lot slower than when i booted up.
My memory checks out fine HOWEVER . when i looked at the activity monitor the cache size just kept getting higher at one point at 9 gig. this cache size was slowly growing the longer i was on line. The larger it grew the slower things worked.
I understand i am supposed to just look at the memory pressure and yes it stayed green the entire time. but the slow down did happen at the same time the cache size grew.
I also have a windows 8.1 computer only 6 gigs. and no mater how long i stay on the internet and i can open 15 tabs i never experience a slow down.
I would think with 16 gig and an i7 i would have some speed. I wish there was a way to limit the cache.
I use the Mac most of the time and i wish they would fix the memory problem.
What can i do ?

I use the Mac most of the time and i wish they would fix the memory problem.
It's not a problem. It's working as designed. Memory management has been changed to take full advantage of increased RAM. It, by design, takes advantage of RAM reserves by holding things in RAM instead of constantly moving things in and out.
What can i do ?
Chill out.

Do modules cause memory problems?

I have a big app that I decided to make modular. Everything
seemed to be going along smoothly at first as I started adding
modules. Now I have upwards of 40 modules and the app runs slow on
the client side and it takes forever for Flex Builder to build as
well. I kept getting an out of memory error so I upped my
FlexBuilder.ini parameter to -Xmx1024M. I am not getting the memory
problem, it does eventually build, but it takes a few minutes. I
guess my question is, does the number of modules I have in an
application have this big of an affect on building the application?
I have 1.5 gig of RAM and now allocating upwards of 2/3 of it to
Flex Builder if it needs it. Is there a better way or do I just
deal with it?

If the modules are large it's possible that your stuck with
it but that is a rare situation. Likely you have a couple of things
you can do.
First is do not load a module until you really need to. This
I assume you already know. Inside each of the modules you will want
to take the same approach. Delay the creation of objects (UI or
otherwise) until the application actually needs them.
Second is you may have memory leaks: Might want to check out
this article by Grant Skinner if you have not already.
http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2006/06/as3_resource_ma.html
My guess is that you have loitering objects and runaway event
listeners that all need to be stopped, closed down or de-referenced
or the garbage collector cannot collect them and eventually you run
out of memory.
If you have Flex 3 Beta 3 you can use the profiler to check
for Loitering Objects and verify that when you close certain
objects down that the memory is returning to where it should be or
at least reasonably close.
Either way the articles from Grant Skinner are a good
read.

875P NEO-FIS2R no boot with memory problems

I just got a NEO FIS2R board, a P4 2.6C, and two 512MB sticks of OCZ PC3200 Premier DDR. I installed the board and connected only my hard drive, video card (GeForce4 Ti4200), both sticks of memory, and CPU (on a 300W PSU). At first, the board would eventually make it to the "booting OS" stage, after spending a little time on "initializing video" (normal) and "assigning ISA" or something like that (don't know what that is, since the board has no ISA slot). Unfortunately, although my monitor's light changed from yellow to green, meaning it was getting a signal, the screen remained blank. I gave it a few minutes and finally turned off the computer. After reseating the video card and memory and disconnecting the hard drive, the same problem occurred. Finally, I took out one of the sticks. After this, the computer hung on that ISA thing for about ten seconds, and then went back to "detecting memory" and gave a 2-1 error beep. I switched between the two OCZ sticks and also two sticks slow generic PC2100 memory that I had in my old computer and I know work fine. Eventually the computer stopped pausing at the ISA stage and went to the memory detection after only a second or so. Since the video was obviously acting strange, I disconnected the video card so the computer contained only CPU and memory. The bootup sequence was the same, except that in place of the single beep during video intialization, it gave me a 2-8 error code. Finally, I took the board out of my case and laid it flat on the wooden table and tried again. Still no boot. I also cleared CMOS several times throughout this procedure, so that shouldn't be the problem.
Can anyone figure out what's going on here? It's especially confusing to me that the computer booted all the way (sans video) at first, then started having memory problems, and that the system passes the initial memory test but then goes back to it after that ISA thing (this is all according to the D-Bracket).

On the compatability list, it says
"Kingston KVR400X64C25/512
W942508BH-5 (Winbond)"
Since the memory I am looking at is CL2, does that mean it might not be compatible after all?
If you're wondering whether the Kingston HyperX RAM you're looking at is the same as the Kingston RAM you've found on the compatibililty list, the answer is NO. The RAM from the list that you're referring to has a model number that starts with "KVR", which stands for "Kingston Value RAM". HyperX RAM has model numbers that start with the letters "KHX".
You might also note that there is no listing for any of the HyperX stuff on that compatibility chart. However, I have seen posts from several people on this forum who seem to be using HyperX RAM with no problem. I suspect that MSI hasn't updated that list in awhile, because there are no listings for many of the newer PC 3500, 3700, and 4000 RAM models.
I personally went 512mb (2x256) of OCZ PC3200EL DDR RAM, it is listed as 'OCZ (PN- OCZ400256EL ) PN- OCZ400256EL' on the compatibility chart. I had plenty of problems trying to run a set of Corsair TwinX 3200PCT ver. 1.2 on my 875P NEO board, and I settled them by switching over to the OCZ RAM only because it was listed. While it wasn't my first choice I'm pretty happy with it because so far it's been running stable at CAS 2,2,3,6, with the voltage at 2.65.

For everyone having memory problems with this board

I have been working on my memory problems with this board. Memtest failed every pass yet memory was fine and board was fine. Was using Kingstone Value Ram
Set bios version back to 1.7
set preformance to fast
set memory to
2.5
4
4
8
Set voltage to 2.7 if that does not work go to 2.75
now working great no more blue screens or os getting corupt it seems to run like a charm
Thanks to the people who have posted sefull iformation even know you have to dig deep to find it.

i was having mem problems with this board. But i set up bios v2.2 - ram voltage 2.75 - performance mode: slow and ram timing by SPD.
Seems to work great for me but my video card is messed up so my comp dies every ones in a while.

N96 Memory problem (internal 16GB)

N96 Memory problem (internal 16GB)
If I fill the internal memory with more than approx 5gb the phone goes crazy...
(9,3Gb free)
Here are a couple of examples
* The phone becomes alot slower
* When powering up the phone stops at a white blank screen until * I press the power button again.
* When starting the music player all buttons associated with the music player(both on phone and handsfree) becomes unresponsive and the only way to stop the music is to remove the battery to turn off the phone.
Another problem that occasionally occurs even if I have more free space on my memory card is:
* When using the alarm clock there is a 33% chance that the phone will freeze when I turn it off. The only way to use the phone again is to remove the battery.
I haven't updated the phone yet because the update isn't available yet in sweden it seems.
Solved!

This may be the issue, New content!:
Scanning for new content (slowness in UI)
- This is somewhat improved in 11.018 but still:
- If you've loaded many Pictures, Videos or Music, you may see the device appear to slow down or even become unresponsive. After new content has been added, it is being scanned by the device and being added to the media applications. Until that happens, the new content may not be visible in these applications (e.g. Photos and Video Center application) right away. The phone will need to find the files and create the thumbnails and other details. This information creation takes time and the processing may slow down the device. Your best option is to open Video Center and Photos and leave open in the background then check after a few minutes if the videos and pictures you loaded are already there before using your device.
The same applies if you insert a memory card with lots of content on it.
- Do Not leave the Photos or video center in background during this time.

   FREE MEMORY ID 'ZC3'.
In this code i m facing memory problem.
It is not refreshing the memory every time.
So plz give me proper solution.
Its urgent.
Thanks
Ranveer

Hi,
   I suppose you are trying to store some particular value in memory in one program and then retieve it in another.
If so try using EXPORT data TO MEMORY ID 'ZC1'. and IMPORT data FROM MEMORY ID 'ZC1'.
To use SET PARAMETER/GET PARAMETER the specified parameter name should be in table TPARA. Which I don't think is there in your case.
Sample Code :
Data declarations for the function codes to be transferred
DATA : v_first TYPE syucomm,
       v_second TYPE syucomm.
CONSTANTS : c_memid TYPE char10 VALUE 'ZCCBPR1'.
Move the function codes to the program varaibles
v_first = gv_bdt_fcode.
v_second = sy-ucomm.
Export the function codes to Memory ID
EXPORT v_first
       v_second TO MEMORY ID c_memid.        "ZCCBPR1 --- Here you are sending the values to memory
Then retrieve it.
Retrieve the function codes from the Memory ID
IMPORT v_first TO v_fcode_1
         v_second TO v_fcode_2
FROM MEMORY ID c_memid.                                   "ZCCBPR1
FREE MEMORY ID c_memid.                                   "ZCCBPR1
After reading the values from memory ID free them your problem should be solved.
Thanks

Memory Problems with Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit

In preparation to rebuild my Windows Search Index, I installed the Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit on my system (Vista Business 64). When I finally rebuilt the index, I wasn't too surprised by what I saw happen, namely, the SearchFilter.exe process would kick in whenever I wasn't using the system and just eat RAM. One time I turned it on and it had allocated over 4,000 MB (and my system only has 4,030 MB available) so of course it was forcing all the other processes to hard fault (ie. everything was moving like molasses--for example, it took 20 minutes to put the thing to sleep). But I just let it do it's work, figuring that perhaps this was to be expected relative to the small library of PDF's that I've accumulated on my computer, ranging from LaTeX generated text files, to containers for hi-res scans. So, after a day and a half of basically not using my laptop, everything finally calmed down and I enjoyed the benefits of searching the content of my library from the Windows Start menu--for a short while.
However, to my dismay I've encountered the problem that this freezing of my computer would now occur after everytime I download a new PDF (in this particular case they were Google Books scans) and then left the computer to idle. Again, the SearchFilter.exe would allocate all of my RAM for itself and just push everything else onto the Virtual RAM, which means the SLOWEST possibly fetching you can get. I had to uninstall as this was making my computer unusable for 15-30 minutes after each idle. Everything is back in working order without the iFilter, but I would like to know if anyone has reported such problems on x64 systems. Obviously, I will also report the problem to Microsoft, since the search engine should certainly have the precaution to handle such memory problems.   However, it is a problem that is created by the Adobe PDF iFilter interacting with the Windows Search engine.

Hello,
We believe we have figured this out. It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me. See if this resolves it for you all as well.
Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
Go
--you might also need to run:
sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0 --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
--go
2. Stop SQL Server. (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
3.
Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
4.
Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
6. Start SQL Server
7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname') --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
Give this a try and see if this fixes yours.
Sincerely,
Rob Beene, MSFT

Memory problems with PreparedStatements

Driver: 9.0.1 JDBC Thin
I am having memory problems using "PreparedStatement" via jdbc.
After profiling our application, we found that a large number oracle.jdbc.ttc7.TTCItem objects were being created, but not released, even though we were "closing" the ResultSets of a prepared statements.
Tracing through the application, it appears that most of these TTCItem objects are created when the statement is executed (not when prepared), therefore I would have assumed that they would be released when the ResultSet is close, but this does not seem to be the case.
We tend to have a large number of PreparedStatement objects in use (over 100, most with closed ResultSets) and find that our application is using huge amounts of memory when compared to using the same code, but closing the PreparedStatement at the same time as closing the ResultSet.
Has anyone else found similar problems? If so, does anyone have a work-around or know if this is something that Oracle is looking at fixing?
Thanks

From your mail, it is not very clear:
a) whether your session is an HTTPSession or an application defined
session.
b) What is meant by saying: JSP/Servlet is growing.
However, some pointers:
a) Are there any timeouts associated with session.
b) Try to profile your code to see what is causing the memory leak.
c) Are there references to stale data in your application code.

Dual Channel memory problems on Neo 875P

I am having considerable trouble getting the NEO 875P to work with dual channel DDR400 DIMMs. I have two Kingston KVR400X64C25 DDR400 256MB memory modules, each of which works correctly by itself. However, once I move one
of the modules to channel B, I cannot boot my operating system (currently Windows XP.) The problem also occurs in Windows 2000, which I also have on the system. I receive blue screen errors that indicate paging/memory problems. I have upgraded my BIOS to the latest version (1.3)* in the hope that it would solve my problems, but it has not. The POST screen detects that there is 512MB of memory working in Dual Channel mode, but even when it does get through the O/S booting process (rarely), it crashes within minutes. Putting just one of the chips in makes the system perfectly stable. If anyone has any information, please let me know!
Thanks,
Jim Keller
http://www.centerfuse.net
* My board was dead after trying to flash the 1.3 BIOS, but after about 10 attempts of using CTRL+HOME method to recover the BIOS, it finally worked with version 1.0. I then re-flashed with 1.3, and it rebooted fine. Are there any updates about all of the problems with v1.3 ?

>I can only answer based on what I've read on this forum
I figured as much, I was just wondering if you knew whether MSI themselves frequents the forums or answers emails sufficiently.
I've had an interesting development though. I stumbled upon Tom's Hardware Guide's article about 875P motherboards at http://www17.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20030519/i875p-01.html
They mentioned that they needed to increase the memory voltage from 2.5 to 2.6 in the BIOS to get some memory modules to work. I did this, and for the first time, I am running in Dual channel DDR mode. However, the article also mentions that "the system does not run completely stably", so I guess I'll have to wait and see if it crashes again. However, I'm far enough beyond the XP splash screen to post this message, so I guess we're getting somewhere!

MS-6380 Memory Problem

I have a MS-6380E with the latest BIOS and chipset drivers. Athlon 1.5 Ghz processor, Geo4 Ti series card with 64MB ram and latest drivers and an SBLive Platinum 5.1 card, with the latest drivers. Windows XP Pro is the operating system. The system has 2 PC2100 256MB sticks of DDR ram on the board. This past weekend I tried to install a 3rd chip, PC2100 512MB chip to bring the system up to a Gig of ram. The system would reboot immediatly upon logging into Windows. I took the memory back and exchanged it for another. Installed it with similar results. I tried all three slots with the new memory and the two existing. No, I didn't try the new memory by itself. I finally go it to appear stable for a little bit but I also play Dark Age of Camelot and the latest symptoms were that the system would kick me back to the desktop as soon as I got to the initial "connecting" screen in Dark Age. I also had other odd behaviour with the additional ram installed like my modem taking longer to validate my connection. When I went back to the pre-existing configuration 512MB total, everything would stabilize. The DDR brand was Centron, I know it's not the same manufacturor as my other two sticks but I don't recall the brand on those. Also, just in case you needed to know Dark Age of Camelot is an MMORPG. I checked their tech section and nothing on this problem and their game. I've since returned the memory and have resigned to maxing out at 512MB tho the system specs say I can go to 3GB. I really like this board but am frustrated at the memory problem.

Nokia C5-03 Low memory problems ( Other Files )

Please help. I have a nokia C5-03 the handset is showing phone memory is full. I have checked and uninstalled all unecessay applications. But problem is still there. when i check the phone memory it indicates that i have other files of 42mb installed and using phone memory. however i am unable to check what other files are installed or classfied as other files. Can you please assist me so i can know what these other files consist of or where they are located.

Hi Thetao,
I typed a more extensive reaction before, but it got lost when I pressed "post". Therefore I just respond to the main points that you mentioned (and some I found out myself).
Strange: I can't find the 40 MB Maximum User Storage on the Nokia website anymore (nor the 75 MB). But it sounds very familiar to me. It looks to me as if they removed this from the phone specs, also of other Smartphones by the way.
Yesterday, I deleted some small apps that I don't use (anymore) such as InternetRadio and I also removed Nokia email. Although the apps were below 2 MB together, this freed up over 7 MB of Phone memory (24 MB free now)! I think there were still some old emails stored in C: which I couldn't delete any other way. This helped me a great deal already but I tried your suggestions as well.
1. No map data or CITIES folder on C: 2. Switched messages memory to phone (and phone to offline mode) and I did indeed find a forgotten email account with 30 email messages. Not much but I had 24,7 MB free after that. Of course, I put messages memory back to the memorycard. 3. Used the free edition of Y-Browser to manually delete the cache folder. Not much data in that, but 25,1 MB free after that. Nice tool, with which you can reach folders that normally stay hidden! Used YBrowser to search all C: for files over 300 kB. Only 2 files: boot_space.txt in C:\ (500 kB, contains only the X repeatedly as far as I see, but is probably essential for the operating system) and C:\resource\python25\pyton25.zip (1 MB). It looks like an installation package, but I'm not sure if I can delete it. By the way: YBrowser hasn't made a shortcut in one of the menus. Only way that I found to start it was to look for it using the Phone's search function. Is there a way to make this shortcut myself?
4. Yes I did. No Images folder on C: anymore, nor other big files (see point 3)
5. I use Bluetooth for file transfer sometimes, mainly for installation files (such as YBrowser.sis, but I did this one via USB-cable). However, no big files are left on C: so I don't think I have this problem.
6. I tried to delete Nokia Chat yesterday as well (with the other apps), but it won't be uninstalled the normal way as it says "Uninstall cancelled" (not sure about the exact translation since my phone 'speaks' Dutch) Do you know if there's another way to get rid of this 3 MB app that I don't use at all?
I think I may have found an explanation and a solution for the memory problem while navigating. You mentioned the "memory in use" in the map settings. Above that option there's a slide bar for the % of memory that the navigation can use. Standard is 70%. I always thought this was about storage memory on (in my case) the memorycard. Another topic mentioned that this the working memory (so the RAM) that the navigation may use. Setting it to 70% means there's only 30% left for other apps that run in the background. The other topic states that this is nog enough so the slider should be set to for instance 30% for navigation leaving 70% free for "the phone". From behind my computer, navigation seems much more stable. I'll try this setting in my car soon and let you know how it works.
Thanks a lot for thinking along with me so far! There's already 25,1 MB of space, which is great since it was only 7 MB last Sunday. And navigation looks more stable. I'd appreciate if you have some more answers to my latest questions, but if not I think my phone will work a lot better already!

Memory problem with jdk/jre 1.1.8

My name is BERGMANN Yannick.
I'm working for IRM in Li?ge and we developped an application (user interface for an industrial measurement system) in Java (JDK/JRE version : 1.1.8).
We have a big memory problem with this application :
- This user interface is running on a WINDOWS NT PC with 128MB.
- This is the command to lanch our application :
C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.1\bin\jrew.exe" -ms32m -mx32m -cp "\Program Files\HMI\HMI.zip;\Velocis\Add_On\Jdbc\raima.jar;\Program Files\Swing-1.1.1\swingall.jar" be.irm.hmi.kernel.HMI -t15 -d"Velocis rdstcp" -newdb -mf1m -mr20
- When our application is running, everything seems to be OK in memory for it. The garbage collector seems to work properly and our application has always at least 5MB free memory (We use the java instruction "Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()" to know this).
- But when we look in the "Windows NT task manager" for the "jrew" application, the memory increases ALWAYS.
- After 5 days our application is completely frozen and blocked ...???
- here is a memory map of our Windows NT PC :
     "jre.exe"     "commit total"     "commit limit"     "commit peak"     "physical total"     "physical available"     "physical file cache"

Have you any idea of what is happening with "jrew" in memory ?
We have had this problem for six month and we are totaly out of idea.
If you can give us any idea, we'll appreciate a lot.
Thanks in advance,

We had a memory problem with a swing applet in our company. The major reason for this was that we added new components in a JTree and removed them later again, and the components we removed were never garbage collected. This was because with these components we added different listeners, and we didn't remove the listeners after we didn't need the components anymore. After we corrected this, the components where garbage collected.
Perhaps it's a similar problem you have, or I have no idea. Check that you remove actionlisteners, mouselisteners etc from components you want to be garbage collected.
You could also test your application with OptimizeIt to see what objects you create and how many you get of them over time: http://www.vmgear.com
