Just an idea, but what happens if you use Vue Infinit 5 to import the Poser model, save as vob, and then use the vob in Vue 6 Inf?  Do you still have the out of memory problems?  

I'm working on a scene.  In the "good" pre-release, it was fairly stable around 45% resources.  When I open with the final release with patch, it drops down to about 29%.  If I wait a few minutes it goes back up around 32%.  A purge memory brings it up to about 60%.  I need to purge memory about every 15 minutes or so.  Even when the resources drop to less than 30%, I have not noticed any slow down.  Just makes ME nervous!

I don't have any problems moving things around, and believe me, there are a ton of high texture models in this including V3!  What I did do is convert everything to vobs first and then start putting everything together.
