Why does GameSalad take so much of your graphics card?

Hey Guys,
Alot of times GameSalad runs slow on my 13 inch MacBookPro (2011) because my graphics card isn't high enough. Why does gamesalad need so much of the graphics card?

    Its not the graphics card thats slow its that gamesalad has some big memory leaks, but they are supposedly fixed in the next release of GS 9.3

    But I thought the memory leak was for making it force close, not slow it down (ALOT!)?

    It doesn't force close it. It just is a good idea to close it yourself to keep it running fast. Next week, though, the next update will be out with (apparently) a fixed memory leak!

    .9.3 is so much better, but also 4gb of ram is best for working with GS.

    Looks like lazy developer forgot to [type release];

    I have 4gb on an imac and it still slows down. It's save and restart every 10 to 20 minutes, or when I notice things slowing. I'm really looking forward to the update so this becomes a thing of the past.

    Don't us the back button. I believe that helps a bit.
