Chapter 2 - QuickDraw GX Memory Management

About QuickDraw GX Memory Management

QuickDraw GX works with the Macintosh Memory Manager to manage the memory used by your application for creating and manipulating objects. QuickDraw GX memory management is automatic. Memory blocks are allocated and deallocated as your application needs them.

Nevertheless, the more memory that QuickDraw GX has available, the faster your application can run. As a result, you may be able to improve the performance of your application by using some of the QuickDraw GX memory management operations.
