Salve!

I do not know your program, but when I had this problem, I solved
it by using as many Java objects as possible: Java lists, maps and
arrays instead of Swarm ones, for instance.
The reason for this is that Java objects will be "garbage collected"
(that is eliminated automatically once they are no longer useful),
whereas Swarm objects will be accumulated in memory. So either you use
Java objects, or you are careful to "drop" every Swarm object once
you are done with it.
Also, my simulation ended up _much_ faster when using more Java
objects.

Hope this helps,

Marie-Edith.
