which is exactly it... since colors use integers, so by combining i'm using 1 string instead of 4 integers.
the leak is happening in 2 scripts, NxSocial and NxQuest ... i've got it fixed in NxSocial now by just having a array of the colours unpacked, instead of unpacking them every update... will look into NxQuest next and see if that fix works there too.
