Hi michael mccue, you recently wrote in email:

I think what you mean is the memory for the vertex list and for the
edge list. Moray stores vertices (points) and edges (connection
information) of the wireframes. For speed these are kept contiguous in
memory.

The numbers are not directly related to available or installed memory.
As long as the indicators in the status bar (V:xxxx yy% and E:zzzz
ww%) are not red and are below 90%, you're fine. For larger scenes,
you may need to increase these numbers until the indicators are no
longer red. Moray will still run fine even if they are red, but parts
of the wireframe will be missing, since there is not enough memory to
store all vertices and edges.
It is a bad idea to make these lists larger than they need to be,
since anything that is not used is wasted (but allocated) memory which
POV-Ray could be utilizing to render the scene.
