9Fixed memory usage problems in KA/Pi:
10When loading data KA/Pi did load the file data twice.
11Example:
12 A 600k file did consume 1200k memory during loading process.
13 This is fixed, it does now consume only 600k during loading process.
14When saving data KA/Pi did consume a lot of memory for the data parsing during the save process.
15This is fixed.
16Example:
17 Before saving a 600k file KA/Pi did consume 21.7 Meg of Ram.
18 When saving KA/Pi did consume 28.6 Meg of Ram. That causes a crash on the Zaurus because there was no memeory left in the system.
19 Now KA/Pi is consuming on saving the same data 22.0 Meg of Ram during the save process.
20Note: The memory usage of KA/Pi after the data is loaded/saved has not changed.
21
22Fixed memory usage problems in KO/Pi:
23When KO/Pi did save the data to file, it did not release the used buffers after saving.
24The used buffer was released after saving the next time, but there was new buffer space allocated again on that save operation.
25This is fixed.
26Example:
27 When saving a 400k file KO/Pi do now use 400k less memory now.

29Optimized memory usage in KO/Pi Agenda view:
30KO/Pi is storing some paint information in extra buffers for faster repainting of the agenda view.
31These buffers were not made smaller (i.e. downsized) because of performance reasons.
32The handling of these buffers are now much smarter:
33Two (of six) buffers are removed completely.
34The remaing four buffers are now downsized after not using the agenda view for 45 seconds.
35Such that the memory usage of KO/Pi is smaller now in general ( because 2 buffers are removed) and is much smaller when not using the agenda view. That is very important when using fastload for KO/Pi.
36
37Worst case example ( for a maximum size agenda content):
38 When resizing the agenda content to a large scale, KO/Pi did use 17Meg of mem ( and did not use less memory until it was stopped). Now KO/Pi is using on the same operation only 14.3 Meg of mem and after 45 seconds not using the agenda view it uses only 9.4 Meg of mem.
39
40Summary:
41Many memory wasting problems of KA/Pi and KO/Pi fixed such that it is better to use on the Zaurus.
