In a network of mine, I'm repeatedly running a loop that sequences through time, interpolates a time slice, renders, then records to video. After about 200 or so frames (time slices), the machine bogs down, and starts thrashing. The order of execution gets strange, things slow down severely, etc. I assume I must have filled up available memory some how and I've started paging heavily. One of my modules creates a new lattice with cxLatNew, and returns a pointer to the lattice which goes to the module output port. I assumed that the Explorer executive would automatically free this lattice for me. Is that incorrect? Should I be keeping this pointer as a global variable, and doing a cxDataFree on it before creating new lattices?
