<P>Hi</P>
<P>We're trying to optimize our memory usage, not exactly find leaks but profile our memory. We are on OL 4.0.8.</P>
<P>So far we've used _LzDebug.whyAlive() to analyze an application; is there a different recommended way to analyze the memory allcoation of an OL app? or are we doing the right thing?</P>
<P>Attached a screenshot of an example run. We need help to understand this output:</P>
<UL>
<LI>what are smoots?</LI>
<LI>why do objects contain smoots?</LI>
<LI>what are the numbers that start with a pound-sterling sign? in regular paranthesis like Array(4)? with "#" like in Array(4) #262</LI>
<LI>how to interpret the names on the leftmost side such as global.spriteroot? the ones after the colon?</LI></UL>
<P>is there any way we can translate these into bytes of memory? we have measured total RAM used separately, but would like to know whether the result of whyAlive is a dependable measure of the breakdown of this memory...</P>
<P>Thanks!</P>
