Hi,

I need informations and precisions about memory allocation in Performer.

What is the difference between :
        - pfMalloc(NULL)
        - pfMalloc(number, pfGetSharedArena())
        - arena = pfGetSharedArena(); pfMalloc(number, arena);

What is the best way to allocate memory in Performer ?

When arena must be use in Performer ?

Is there a difference between the objects in Performer (pfMaterial, pfList,
pfFog, pfFrustum, pfChannel, pfGroup, pfGeode ...) and the way you allocate
them ?

When you are using Multi processing, what must be allocated in arena ?

Thanks for your help.
Norbert
