OK, I use Windows Task Manager on the Performance tab to monitor memory use of my game when running and it helped me find a big memory hole in the past. Now when running it I am getting a tiny leak, or at least I think I am (it's hard to moitor a small leak), but it could just be windows or blitz plus messing around.

What I wanted to ask was does anyone know of an app than can be run that records what memory is allocated/freed and when and perhaps which thread or calling process is allocating/freeing the memory? Or even just a better monitor than Task Manager that has a decent graph of memory use.

I found out how to make task manager monitor faster which is a bit better.

btw, does anyone know what Commit Charge is? I could google, but horses mouth and all that.

As I am not running BMax I have no auto garbage collection so I've really got to check it's not my game or sort it if it is!

Thanks in advance
