[vtk-developers] vtkGarbageCollector performance

[Sean McBride]

Hi all,

We've been profiling our app and finding that lots of time is spent in
VTK's garbage collector.

Part of the problem is that we are creating too many temporary objects,
but I still wanted to investigate a little to see if there are any
obvious improvements to be had in vtkGarbageCollector itself.

One thing I noticed is that some code is conditionalised with #ifdef
VTK_LEAN_AND_MEAN.  Yet I can't seem to find where VTK_LEAN_AND_MEAN is
set on or off (except in vtkWinCE.h, which shouldn't apply to me). 
What's it for?  Where should I be turning it on?

Cheers,
