while this is not necessarily related to the memory usage of an
external, it should rather read:
"Pd keeps the object in memory and w32 locks the file until pd quits."
and it should even rather read ("...and w32 attempts to lock...")
just yesterday i happily discovered that i could circumvent this
locking, while having pd loaded an external and at the same time
compiling this external and replacing the .dll-file (whether this makes
english sense is another question which i cannot answer)
