Thanks Al,

if I understand correctly, then there's no use for 'weak' there as the scope for that declaration ends with 
the program. But it doesn't affect the memory consumption in the loop. I really went ahead and removed it now 
just to be sure. Still reading from "tag.foreground_rgba" consumes more memory through the loop.

Best,
