hi,
We were doing some profiling of our application as we moved from Esri 3.x to Esri 4.29. We basically had an application with 6 maps using just a GraphicsLayer on each map and drawing various polygons representing different regions. We just load our application and render the 6 maps like this:
With Esri 3.x, the heap snapshot is around ~ 220MB.
Loading the same application with Esri 4.29, the heap snapshot is more than double at a whopping 520MB+ !
Obviously the first biggest difference are all these ArrayBuffers and JSArrayBufferData objects - many of them seem related to the Esri 4 MapView and probably WebGL i presume but this incredible that the memory usage would double?
I am just wondering if there is anything we can do with the way we use Esri 4 to reduce our memory usage?
Double the memory usage seems quite excessive.
This is causing a potentially ship killer issue for some of our colleagues who are trying to use our application in a mobile environment where memory usage is important. we are at a loss to explain why we have more than doubled our memory by going to Esri 4.29.
