Memory usage

[Shari]

I'm trying to understand how Metacard's memory usage works, and it 
seems to be defying my logic.  (Being a girl, that's probably not 
difficult ;-)

My visual effects were buggy, sometimes they worked and sometimes 
not, and I tried everything to fix them.  Reinstalled Quicktime 
several times, reinstalled Metacard, tried setting the 
bufferHiddenImages to true, and false, with every combination of 
destroy window, don't destroy window, dontUseQT to true, and false, 
etc.  Tried everything.

I set the memory in the Get Info window (Mac) as high as my computer 
would allow.

To no avail.

So I tried something totally illogical...

I set the memory lower than I knew the stack normally used, and lo 
and behold, the visual effects were fixed.

Can someone explain this one logically?  I am utterly baffled.
