Hi list,
upon trying to add 1000 lines with [until] and [text insert] Pd/wish use up all RAM (and swap space) on my 8GB Debian box. Is there a way to predict memory usage for lines added? What would be the best strategy to do so without locking up Pd?
Thanks, Peter

If wish is eating up the memory, then it's most likely due to the internal "undo" handling of the text-editor. If so, there's been an issue on GitHub about that, and I think there's also a fix...

Seems like the fix should already be in 0.54.afaict you can use the 'clear' or 'set' messages to set the dirty flag to 0, which will clear the undo history.but I'm also wondering if the text window actually has to exist to do so, since 'peer' text objects are possible..

Just found out that the large CPU and memory use only happens when the text editor window is open. Otherwise adding thousand or so lines works fine. Interestingly I can then still undo each of the thousand lines by opening the window after they were inserted, so the undo mechanism is working per se.

So we only need to wait for 0.54 to be released...
