Ok. Also, maybe the GC hasn't freed some of those temporaries 
yet. What's strange is that when the app is run, it seems to do a 
lot of small allocations around 64kB or something for about 10 
seconds(I watch the memory increase in TM) then it stabilizes. 
Not a big deal, just seems a big weird(maybe some type of lazy 
allocations going on)


Anyways, I'm much happier now ;) Thanks!
