[yt-users] Memory leaks and volume rendering

[John ZuHone]

Thanks to everyone for the help. The files are not very big, so I think this is an issue of memory not being freed up as it should, as per Matt's suggestion. I'm rewriting the script as he suggested and then trying that.

I keep using up the memory on the machine with the following script, which creates a time series object and runs through the pfs to create each image. Is there other memory I should be freeing up at each iteration in the loop?
