Delphi 2005 update 1 & memory leak tip

[Traveler]

D2005 users probably are already familiar with the update for D2005. But for those that aren't, it can be downloaded from here: http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/registered/download_delphi.html

What may not be known is the following. Apparently the update still has not fixed some of the memory leaks.
I came across this page: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/borland.public.delphi.non-t.... (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/borland.public.delphi.non-technical/browse_thread/thread/ce7f6c307a5f25d8/450b3e1468a603d8#450b3e1468a603d8) which explains what you can do to solve that problem. After following a few easy steps, memory usage will drop considerably, depending on the project, as much as 100 mb!

I hope it may be of some use to you.

That advice is great. I've yet to apply update 1, but knowing about this other leak explains some of the huge slowdowns I have been having recently while editing a large source file. Only 1750 lines, but it is by far the largest source file in the project and D2005 has been having a cow.

Ok, applied update 1. Man, how long does it take to install from a 24MB file? I washed the dishes in the time it took to install the update.

I just applied the instructions at this page

D2005 flies now. No .NET packages loaded. Just the core Win32 stuff.
