Hi Rob !
I don't know how to prevent loading of external references.
However, I'd like to make some comments on database paging:
- The fastest loading format for Performer is pfb (Performer binary). It is
the recommended format for database paging because loading speed matters.
- When paging, you often load pages over and over. Any loader with small
memory leaks will eventually run out of memory. The pfb loader is kept
leak-free very religiously. As for other loaders - you should try
/usr/share/Performer/src/pguide/libpf/C/deleteGraph on any file format and
watch for memory growth over time. deleteGraph loads and deletes a collection
of models over and over.
