Thanks for the input, and I'll start testing these modules after I complete this current theme I'm working on.
^^Hmm, are you saying it's OK to get increased memory usage with a lot of recycling IF I don't get increase usage with no recycling? I currently DO have transparent icons in xlabel, so that may be the issue. Well the memory footprint doesn't grow proportionally after each recycle, but tends to go towards a max and then never goes above that, which is why I wasn't concerned at first, (but it might be just due to the fact my computer never stays on for a long period of time.) And if I don't do anything with my computer on with litestep itself (IE running bangs and opening popups), the memory usage doesn't increase much, so I can't just leave my computer on after a recycle, I'd have to constantly open and close stuff in the gui for an hour.
And I know definitely xpopup increases my memory usage everytime I open up a popup, but that's just due to caching the popups right?
^I'm not sure what jkey is, is that a better module than mkey? The only module I have loaded in step.rc is NLM right now. Would the j-modules (jDesk and jKey, etc) be more stable than the standard?
hmm, but even if I do find a bad module, it would be difficult for me to tell exactly what setting in the module is causing the problem? Do I just enable and disable each setting and try it? (That would certainly take forever), or should I just report it?
