I am facing a strange problem with memory in Java ME.

here is a part of my code:

int variable=1;

while (true) {
  if (variable==2) {
    display = Display.getDisplay(this);         
    MyCanvas mc = new MyCanvas(this);   // MyCanvas is a runnable object
    mcT = new Thread(mc);    // new thread for MyCanvas
    mc.repaint();
    display.setCurrent(mc);  
    mcT.start();  // run thread
    }

  if (variable==1) {
    // Do some other stuff
    }
  }

The problem is that although still the variable is set to 1, so it does not come through the if (variable==2) condition the program consumes 300kB more memory than when I delete the code after condition if (variable==2).

As far as I know the code should by executed and the objects shall be created only when I set variable to value 2. But it consumes the memory also when the code after condition "if (variable==2)" is not executed.

Why does this happen?
