Memory leak help

I don’t think it’s a good idea using the second (Parent) argument of Instance.new. Refer to the following:

PSA: Don't use Instance.new() with parent argument

I’ve discovered a pretty bad performance issue in one of top games that has to do with Instance.new and wanted to write about this, since this is not obvious unless you know the system inside out. Tthere are several ways to create a ROBLOX object in Lua: local obj = Instance.new(‘type’); fill obj fields local obj = Instance.new(‘type’, parent); fill obj fields local obj = util.Create(‘type’, { field1 = value1, … }) If you care at all about performance, please only use the first option - I wi…

Basically, I think it would be more efficient if you set the parent of the part at the very end (after you set the properties of the Instance). I believe this would lead to a reasonable boost in memory and performance.

Example:

local Part = Instance.new("Part")
Part.Name = "part"
Part.CFrame = CFrame.new()
...
Part.Parent = workspace
