Hello Richard, There is no garbage collecting problem in LiveCode 4.5 and 5.0.x. I don't know about 5.5.x yet, but I don't expect it.
There might be some scripts running after you delete a card. To prevent this, lock messages before deleting the card: lock messages delete card unlock messages This will probably faster than whatever you're doing now. There are probably reasons why LiveCode goes non-responsive. A possibility might be a problem in a stackResized handler. This consitently locks up LiveCode. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Use Color Converter to convert CMYK, RGB, RAL, XYZ, H.Lab and other colour spaces. http://www.color-converter.com On 23 jun 2012, at 04:04, Dr. Hawkins wrote: > I haven't seen anything like this for several years. > > Is there a *serious* garbage collection problem with livecode? > > When I delete cards from my output stack, the response time is > measured in seconds.
