Hi,

I run a script that creates hundreds of surfaces with the command ic_surface 4pts:

ic_geo_new_family SURFACES
ic_surface 4pts SURFACES surf.0001 {{0.2500 0.3000 0.2500} {0.2500 0.5000 0.2500} {0.2500 0.5000 0.9080} {0.2500 0.3000 0.9080}}
ic_surface 4pts SURFACES surf.0002 {{1.7680 0.3000 0.2500} {1.7680 0.5000 0.2500} {1.7680 0.5000 0.9080} {1.7680 0.3000 0.9080}}
ic_surface 4pts SURFACES surf.0003 {{0.2500 0.5000 0.2500} {0.2500 0.7000 0.2500} {0.2500 0.7000 0.9080} {0.2500 0.5000 0.9080}}
...
...
...

The script runs fast at the beginning but it slows down as the number of surfaces grows. At some point it gets very slow, it can take 1 second to generate a single surface. It's like ICEM is clogging up as more and more surfaces are created. My CPU or memory use doesn't increase, the problem seems to be within ICEM.
Is there a way to 'unclog' ICEM when running a large script file?
