Re: [pygame] Frantic memory usage

[Kamilche <klachemin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to keep all animations in memory that will be viewed one after 
another, because otherwise the 'stuttering' that will occur as you load 
from hard drive would be jarring. But do throw away any frames you no 
longer need, the instant you're done with them, to keep memory load down.

For my online game, I like to load the animations all at once when the 
script is received from the server, before playing them. This allows 
them to play at their intended frame rate without stutters, and any 
delay on loading from the hard drive is attributed to 'server lag', 
which online players are used to.
