I posted the below in my "Totally confused..." thread, after having thought that things were really starting to look up due to some assistance I received from James (timefighter)...assistance that was much appreciated and does have a big impact on performance until any Posers are added...and just wanted to offer it up here as well to illustrate the severe memory leakage issues I am still experiencing...

Hmmmmmm? Still experiencing big time resource problems here. Just loaded in a recent file, "Rude Awakening" here in the Galleries, that I had done in the "working" second to last update of 6I. When working with it there, if I remember correctly my resources were somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-65%. Upon loading it into 6IF, the resources instantly go down to 11%. After letting it sit for a good 5 minutes, the resources will go back up to ~31%, but once I select anything (which in and of itself) is a 2-3 minute ordeal, they plummet right back down to 10-12% and it becomes quite painful to do anything with the scene.

Methinks this would be a good night to catch up on some reading '-)...
