Hi!<br>Checking the allocations for SAGA after intro sequence has been done, there are lots of zero byte allocations , mostly from here<br>Saga::Actor::loadFrameList(int,struct Saga::ActorFrameSequence * &,int &) <G:\scummvm-1-0-0\engines\saga\actor.cpp #350> + 11 - ScummVM.exe! 38bcde68()<br><br>where the number of frames is 0, still an allocation is done. Is there a memory overhead even for zero allocations perhaps?<br><br>Cheers<br>Lars<br><br>> Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:03:59 +0100<br>> From: neil@millstone.demon.co.uk<br>> To: lordhoto@scummvm.org<br>> CC: scummvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net<br>> Subject: Re: [Scummvm-devel] ScummVM 1.0.0: Release status 2009-08-11 -- Full feature, freeze<br>> <br>> Johannes Schickel wrote:<br>> > Johannes Schickel wrote:<br>> >><br>> >> I remember DrMcCoy moved some video player code from gob into <br>> >> graphics/.
