Dear Tom,

I am trying to ChimeraX for superimposing a large number of small maps and ran into a memory problem. 
It seems that after each fitting an object is created for the results. This object seems to not be deleted after calling “close session” which leads to huge memory consumption after a large number of operations.
I have attached a toy script which can reproduce the problem. Could you please point me to a solution to this problem?
I was previously using chimera for this and had no problems.

Best wishes,
Andrei
