| Add RenderWorld after ClearWorld. |
| ||
| that gives me back most of the memory but I'm still 40K down. Don't know why renderworld would free memory anyway? does it clear a memory buffer on the video card? I tried updateworld and that doesn't work either... |
| ||
| probably it's a memory segmentation problem. |
| ||
| on my comp, renderworld solves it... |
