Botsareus:
The rest of the posts where deleted by me, because I was not achieving my point.
Sorry, I really should not be doing that.
I am going to update the MB league soon.
I never asked for 'global' admin privileges. I only need privileges for leagues.
So therefor, if the administrator thinks I overstepped my privileges, I'll be happy to only keep the rights to modulate the bestory.

Panda:
I was confused about it for a second.

Botsareus:
I still can not trace in what file this Zombie_Release command lives in.
I am going to go ahead and ignore it, and go with my gut on configuring mutation rate time outs, as I can not get a new computer at this time.

Panda:
Is it within DB2?

Numsgil:
That's part of the VB6 runtime actually.  It's in MSVBVM60.dll.  It has to do with the way VB6 reference counts (There's also a Zombie_AddRef, Zombie_QueryInterface, etc.).  See VISUAL BASIC REVERSED - A decompiling approach.  Basically objects that are no longer being used aren't immediately deleted.  They get put in to a "zombie" state, and the garbage collector later on will try to find them and remove them.  If it's showing up in a profile with a non trivial amount of time on it, it means that you are generating a lot of garbage (temp allocations), and that's causing a perf hit.

If you look for a fresh MSVBVM60.dll online, you can verify that it has the function in it as well.  You'll need something that can handle binary files, like notepad++.
