   Hi there,
   I'm close to wrapping up my game and decided to take a look at leaks and object allocations.
   I've ran into something and I'm not too sure.
   My game starts up, intro scene, then menu scene.
   If I look at the object allocations, the "net bytes" keep going up, steadily, not by much, but it keeps growing.
   The block is called "GeneralBlock-56", and if I open it up I see a bunch of calls to "CAImageQueueCollect" from QuartzCore.
   If I click on one of those, it seems to originate from the swapBuffers in EAGLView.
   I've attached a screenshot so you can have a look.
   
   Is this a leak?
   If not, what is it?
   Why is memory increasing constantly?
   If I leave it to run it just keeps eating up memory, and I presume would eventually crash.
   Any ideas into what I'm doing wrong?
   Thanks!

   That is "every object ever created" mode....

   What does "Created and Still living" indicate?

   Ah, what an idiot I am.
   Still, if I select "created and still living", it increases at the same pace.

   I don't know what I'm looking at.
   If I run Instruments with the Activity Monitor and show the physical memory being used, it only increases when loading the game/textures, then stays stable throughout.
   So, presumably, there is no memory increase.
   I feel silly now.

   I got a similar allocation while running my slide show... which is still doing something funky with FPS, so I assumed that increasing allocations were "bad"
