Hi all,

I ran Instruments on my application to find ways to optimize memory usage and there is something strange I can't understand.

ObjectAlloc says my application uses about 6 MB of memory (I checked created and still living radio button) whereas Memory Monitor says it uses from 20 MB to 35MB in the real memory used column.
What am I missing here ? Where did all that memory go ?

I think ObjectAlloc is too optimistic as I guess my app uses more than 6MB (I get memory warnings quite often) but I don't think it uses as much as 35MB either !

Thanks for helping
