Ok!

So I'm having an issue with my images rising too high and causing my game to lag. But! If I have the actors/enemies destroy once they're destroyed, shouldn't that clear up images space?

I would think so but the number stays high :(
What should my numbers look like, and how can I help manage them?

This small amount will cause hell.....Sometime.

    GS has always had problems with this. It's due to garbage collection not recycling the used memory after it is no longer needed. It will eventually recycle (might need to get to the point where no more memory is available or new scene is loaded).

    Outside of GS implementing some sort of memory release behavior (would do wonders for my game that changes pics of an object fairly often) there is not much you can do.

    Well assuming you resized your images already.

    513x513 dimension image will round up to 1024x1024 in the engine and use 4x the memory than a 512x512 image.
