"In your opinion, was performance steady frame by frame? No slow-down due to the memory leak?" Unfortunately, I wasn't looking for this. I didn't notice any slow-down due to the memory issue on a per-frame basis, but I suppose it's possible. I only watched the first few frames roll off. ;-) " ----------------------------------- well, it is possible speed will improve with SR1 becuase there defiately could have been slow-down during the render, even if it did not crash. ::::: Opera :::::
