Hey everybody,

After noticing my test SndBuf programs were eating more memory than I expected I started looking around on the list and wiki but couldn't find any relevant discussions. Here's how it goes:

airj:~ josh$ chuck --version

chuck version: 1.2.1.3 (dracula)

exe target: mac os x : universal binary

http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/

airj:~ josh$ cat tmp/buf.ck

SndBuf b;

"tmp/bigfile.wav" => b.read;

while (1::second => now);

airj:~ josh$ du -sk tmp/bigfile.wav

769308 tmp/bigfile.wav

airj:~ josh$ chuck --loop &

[1] 20706

airj:~ josh$ ps -orss= 20706

4484

airj:~ josh$ chuck + tmp/buf.ck

airj:~ josh$ [chuck](VM): sporking incoming shred: 1 (buf.ck)...

airj:~ josh$ ps -orss= 20706

1531692

airj:~ josh$

Looks like ChucK/SndBuf's resident size is growing a little under 2x the size of the file I'm trying to buffer. Any ideas?

Cheers,
