disable record results, does it save memory?

[david_jenkinson]

I am wondering, when you disable recording of results for a step, does teststand still maintain a copy of the result cluster in memory, and just not report it to html?  Or does it disable maintaining any results at all in memory?  We are looking for ways to minimize our memory use for long test runs, to work around a reporting bug when "conserve memory" option is checked.

Thanks

If you disable the result, it is not copied to the resultList local. This prevents it from being returned to the process model for report generation and logging. It will also reduce the peak memory used during the testing of the UUT.

I say "peak memory used" to emphasize that the results are always discarded when the execution completes or loops around to the next UUT.
