Hi there!

I got a report that my radio player app eats around 300-500 MB while running under Mac OS X(10.6.8.).

Are there any known issues with the internal memory management system under MAC OS? Shouldn't it kick in when a certain amount of memory is wasted? - The same code under Windows 7 only ueses around 20 MB of Ram.

I don't own a Mac myself, so I try to narrow down the problem.

The garbage collector in bmx is not flawless. Macs also handle memory differently than windows as far as tolerances. If you're using multithreaded compile that uses a different garbage collector with many more chances to cause problems.
