In my experiment memory usage keeps growing a little (more, and more RAM usage after GC) when I use repeatedly:

```auto
removeChild(picContainer);
addChild(picContainer);
picContainer.addChild(pic);

```

istead of

```auto
while(picContainer.numChildren){
picContainer.removeChildAt(0);
}
picContainer.addChild(pic);

```

Is that normal?  
Everything is fine when I use code with “while” loop
