You'd probably save some time if you wait until 3.6 is out because 
otherwise you would need to rewrite the code (image reading/writing has 
not changed much but some changes require modifications at a lot of

Just in case this is not clear to everyone - this is not a memory leak, 
it is just POV-Ray temporarily allocates more memory than it needs.

As usual source will not be available during beta.
