There are small memory leaks in sixtrack 4.46 graphics, I think.

On every "show graphics" WinTaskMan shows that Mem Usage increases at 200~400 Kb and VM Size increases at 100~300 Kb.

Also every time when theme changes MemUsage increases at approx. 8 Kb.

My cfg:
BOINC 4.09, LHC 4.46, CPDN 4.03, S@H 4.03
WinXP SP1 Prof
P4-2.6GHz, 512Mb RAM

We have seen something like a leak of 28 k on one of our machine, but nothing
on our other machines. So it might be a leak in the OpenGl drivers and not
in our code. The Graphics guy has unfortunately left cern, but he will come back
hopefully this week and give me the full code for the graphics. I will try to take a look through it if more people say they see the same behaviour.

All the time or only the first time through the themes?
The themes will not be loaded into memory until they are needed, so this
might be the cause.

Yes, it seems this was for the first loaded themes.
