Memory usage

FIY the department of silly statistics reports that a map of size 25x60 with 466 units requires 945 MB of memory in Linux at the 68th turn.
That's over 2 MB per unit...

Another note concerning this. After saving the game and quiting the current game and returning back to the main menu, the program seems to still be using all that memory. You are returning the allocated memory, aren't you?

There are a number of known memory leaks in 1.1.9 (many of which related to freetype-2.1, If I recall correctly).

The issue is briefly discussed here.

And don't forget that the numbers are often misleading. Allocated memory is not used memory.

And certainly not when we have memory leaks.

Thanks forpointing that out.
