No way to re-use - the data is stored in custom props and displayed in
tables. The tables are constantly deleted and created as needed. If I
did not do this, the program could easily wind up occupying gigabites of
ram when it is running.

How does the program keep track of id counts? I would think it would be
safe as a standalone. Surely a standalone which never saves stacks (all
data stored externally) would not have the ability to keep a running
track of its ids?

Watch out! Only 999,902,193 IDs left to go. :)

I'm not sure what happens if the engine runs out of IDs.  Mr. 
Waddingham, what's the word?

Is there any way your software could reuse those objects?
Is it necessary to do all that in a single stack?
