You can use the status(obj) kfun to see how many sectors it used the
last time it was stored in the swap-device:

    status(obj)[O_NSECTORS]

That, combined with a loop over all objects in your game, should tell
you something about where your mysterious data use is coming from.

If your lib tracks how many and which clones there are of which
objects, I'd see if perhaps you have a leak somehwere, for instance
because connection-objects don't self-destruct upon disconnect, or so.

Hope that helps,

Erwin.
