[ic] Low memory version

Hi,

It seems that, after running for some period of time with a modest order 
rate, the standard 4.6.5 system gradually requires an increasing amount 
of memory. Since only a limited amount of memory is available to me, this 
causes IC to grind to halt. I am now seeing "out of memory" messages in 
the ICDEBUG file and "Internal error" messages to users.

So, I need to create or setup a version of IC that will run in the smallest 
amount of memory possible. So far, I have limited the number of products 
in each category and turned off UI. What other things can be done? 

Are there some periodic cleanup functions that will minimize memory 
consumption, such as flushing the transaction database? This seems likely, 
since the initial uses of the program/catalog ran without problems of any 
kind, but a quick look through the catalog subdirectories does not show 
any file that obviously large.

Best regards,

Mike
