You could use MallocDebug to show you where all the allocations are coming from, if the problem really is allocations.

Allocations aren't considered leaks if you are holding on to a pointer to them, so "leaks" won't find a lot of simple problems (like if your code is accidentally growing an array or dictionary larger and larger and larger without ever shrinking it back down).

When my application has been running for a few minutes, Expose starts being jerky. My app takes almost 0 CPU. However, its real and virtual memory usage keeps increasing. I used Instruments to check for leaks and eliminated all of them. When I run leaks, the output is something like this:

Process 327: 16547 nodes malloced for 2067 KB
Process 327: 0 leaks for 0 total leaked bytes.

When I quit my app, Expose starts working normally again. Yesterday I left the program running all day, and came back to my computer being at the login screen; I tried to log in again and it froze. After restarting, the console was full of these messages:

kernel     proc: table is full

Is this a memory issue or something else? How can I accurately debug this?
