This should avoid the memory consumption.
When in hw multipipe it seems not possible to share the graphic context, as
the man pages for pfPipeWindow state that: PWPWIN_TYPE_SHARE will "attach to
the first pfPipeWindow on the PARENT pfPipe".
So it implicitly says that if the parent pfPipe is different...
Hope this helps.
Greetings to all of you,
Massimo
