found this on Adobe’s website — sorry for posting the whole thread, but I tried it out (the ‘secret menu’ function; i set it to purge every 90 frames) and it works…

Topic
“throw away” of preview memory

mischi forster – 11:43pm May 9, 2005 Pacific

Hi there,
I have a problem all the time: Well I’ve 2 Gigs of memory, but still the memory gets full so many times after about ten minutes using AE. Is there a way to “throw away” the preview memory so I don’t have to restart AfterEffects to have more ram?

Well, thanks a lot,

Michael

but sometimes (randomly but fairly often) this doesn’t seem to work. You purge the memory but AE seems to hang on to what its doing and refuses to clear the preview

anyone else had any problems with this?

Nope, but if you have problems rendering, try out the “Secret Menu” in preferences.. I think you need to hold shift and then go to prefs.. Hit the back button, and voila, the “Secret Window”. That will allow you to clear it after each frame.

Yep. Seems to happen here too. It would be nice if it have a confimation window pop up after it does it ‘thing’. Also it should have a toolbar button so you can click it more often with ease.
