I have been browsing the posts in this group, but was not able to find anything to solve my problem. I have a feeling Mathematica still has a memory leak, and a severe one, but cannot locate it. I wonder if anybody can help me. ------------------------------------------------ I have a code for some algebraic computations - no images,no sounds, no files. I load the initial data, MemoryInUse shows about 3MB used. I run the evaluation. Say in the current example in succeeds to evaluate the needed data at 22MB. Then I run the Remove["Global`"] command (the only non-system context I have), then I also use the CleanSlate utility to clear In and Out things. I look at the MemoryInUse again and it shows about 19MB used. ------------------------------------------------ So it seems I have cleared all my input data, but the memory is still used. Share[] does nothing as well. So could there probably be some hidden system variable that stored something weird? ------------------------------------------------ I understand that 19MB is nothing, but the problem is that the memory used keeps going up constantly, and much faster that the growth of the data set I have. So it makes me incapable of evaluating example I need. ------------------------------------------------- If it can help, I am on Mathematica 5.0, Windows XP ------------------------------------------------- Thanks to everybody in advance!
