*** Remember that your own resources can be shared.

** | ** If you don't need instantaneous processing and aren't using Utility.Wait(), you can "eat" some of the stacks by having your event handlers [[RegisterForSingleUpdate - Form|RegisterForSingleUpdate(''n'')]], and doing your actual processing in an [[OnUpdate - Form|OnUpdate()]] event. If ''x'' events occur within ''n'' seconds of each other, you'll process all of those events just one time. | ||
*** Effectively, those ''x'' events will register for an update and return immediately, clearing ''x'' stacks out of memory. Then, ''n'' seconds after the ''x''th event fired, one new stack will be created to do your processing. | *** Effectively, those ''x'' events will register for an update and return immediately, clearing ''x'' stacks out of memory.

** If you need to quickly process the first event in a bunch, then you can "eat" a few of the redundant stacks by using a boolean variable to prevent concurrency. Check if it's true at the start of the function, and return if it is. Otherwise, set it to true, do your processing, and then set it back to false. | |||
