In previous version 2.2.3 when i use INSTANCE and point attribute "instance" with for example "/obj/geo1" and render - all ok! Htoa use "/obj/geo1" as instance and correct render, low memory, etc. In version 3.0.0(3.0.1) when i try render same scene or use same method - htoa quickly takes all my RAM... Finish :(
In new version something changed with instance or this is bug?
Thank you...

2018-04-27 23-51-58.flv - htoa 3.0.1
2018-04-27 23-55-25.flv - htoa 2.2.4
This instances render may take 5-7 GB max, not 10,20,30...50, etc ... There is not fine.
I just rendered a simple test with 100k instances with the Instance object. Do you have repro scene (as scene that reproduces the problem)?
Thanks. It rendered ok on my machine.
00:05:57 148MB | memory consumed in MB: 00:05:57 148MB | at startup 36.71 ... 00:05:57 148MB | externally allocated 15.30 00:05:57 148MB | OpenVDB volume plugin 15.30 00:05:57 148MB | unaccounted 34.55 00:05:57 148MB | total peak 205.57
First screenshot is 2.2.3 version - all render OK(!), Second - 3.0.0 - all memory occupied in few seconds, computer freeze and full finish :(
I tested on two different computers with Linux and Windows ...
