Hi,

I’m working on an application which loads a new xml file  
(which is around 7 kb) every second. When I monitor my  
RAM memory usage it is expanding every time a new file  
is loaded and the data is processed. This goes on and on  
untill the memory is completely full.

Is there a way to flush the memory?.. all the previous  
loaded xml files are not important to the application once  
they are processed…

thanks
