Quitting takes forever

[Shari]

I've got a stack with a lot of big arrays.

When I quit Metacard with this stack open, it takes about a minute to 
actually quit out of Metacard, you can hear the computer grinding 
away doing things.

Even after, it seems that Metacard stays in memory.  Because for the 
next couple of minutes, everything I do on the computer is slooooow. 
Even simple things that are usually instantaneous.

The stack doesn't have a save routine.  It doesn't do anything 
special when you quit out of it.  I've put closeStack, 
closeBackground, etc. handlers so that it doesn't call on Metacard's. 
I've emptied out the biggest globals (arrays) in the closeCard 
handler.

Yet when I quit Metacard, something just grinds away in the 
background.  All the windows close, the Metacard menu bar is visible, 
and I see a blank desktop (the desktop background, but no desktop 
icons or anything), and I can hear the computer busily grinding away 
at something.

Any thoughts?
