[GRASS-user] wx python memory allocation

[Vincent Bain]

Hello list,
for I've been testing grass70 python interface I've noticed a crash
frequently related to memory consumption : the python process requires
an /increasing/ amount of memory while e.g. wandering on the map
display.

The problem is obvious when the display copes with raster data. After
several zooming/panning on a 10 000 000 cells image, memory allocated to
the python process quickly runs beyond 200/300 Mo, and never decreases
eventhough I set the display back to nothing...

Could it be related to anything like a pyramid building process that
does not work properly ? is the problem already well known or is it just
normal, regarding the size of the displayed raster map ?

Thank you in advance,
Vincent
