I am using an image object to display a dynamically generated image. Each time the image is updated, I see an increase of about 25M in RAM usage by the altiart. This also occurs in Altia Design (with the memory increase in altiaengine). I am using Altia Design 8.06 MR5. Is there anything that I should be doing in order to prevent this occurrence?

My test case is:
1. Open Altia Design
2. Add image object
3. Save
4. Close
5. Re-open Altia Design
6. Set path to "image.png" (file size 162k, resolution 2048x2048)
7. Rotate image.png and resave it
8. Change image_name animation to "a.png"
9. Change image_name back to "image.png"
10. Observe memory usage increase

Thanks,
Kevin
