From what I see, Jaime is mainly into stills, where leaks are certainly
less of a problem, even when the scenes are much more complex.

Also, any observations that might help identify the leaks are more than
welcome. I'd expect most leaks to be specific to the use of particular
features rather than constant per-frame overhead.

My understanding from your description is that memory consumption not
only rises during animation rendering, but remains high even after the
final frame has finished, right?

If you could provide me with a scene that is guaranteed to exhibit lots
of leakage in the most recent Windows binaries and isn't too slow to
render, maybe along with a bit of technical information on how much
leakage you observe, I'd appreciate that as well. I don't do any serious
animations work with POV-Ray myself, so I have only very simple test
scenes to go by, which do not seem to demonstrate any increase in the
memory footprint that would stand out among the normal random
fluctuations seen in the task manager.

Feel free to email any helpful animation scenes to "christoph", at
"lipka-koeln" in the "de" domain.
