Looking at the internals of the server and the client, I see a lot of malloc/free going on. I am usually very cautious of heap fragmentation, and I'm afraid PicoGUI will seriously decrease the stability of our device. This is what it would be doing continuously: To get a different window 'on top', every few seconds: -remove a window -add a new window To keep the same window, but show a different message (or different number in the same message, like a constantly changing counter): -change the text in a window All this would cause constant allocating and freeing of memory. Doesn't this cause heap fragmentation very quickly? Or am I just being paranoid?
