Hi Squeakers,

Here's the scenario: after running a large complex application for a 
while you discover you image has grown by 60 Megabytes.
Q1: How do you discover what is taking up that memory?
Q2: Once you find the culprit cancerous mesh of objects, how do you 
discover what is holding things in memory?
Q3: What is the safest way to clean it up (assuming that the objects are 
garbage and not needed)

These are vague questions, but any general tools or suggestions would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Derek
