I guess you can also explain why these groups aren't full of people
complaining about it then.  It is not like there aren't enough people using
the animation loop in POV-Ray, i.e. for the irtc...

I don't need to convince you.  I know there is no memory leak big enough
that it could cause what you claim it would - for your claim to be correct
POV-Ray would have to forget about tens of megabytes of memory per frame!
