Admob for Windows Phone and Memory Leak

[vmnoodle71]

The admob plugin for windows phone causes the app to lag and become unresponsive at times . Has google purposefully done this ? . They havent released any fix for the issue on Windows Phone . Is there a workaround to get banner ads from admob work smoothly on Windows Phone . ?

A quick google 'admob memory leak windows phone' will tell you that there are a lot of wp devs facing the issue.

If possible don't use banners in your game view. Only use them in the menu, settings, lost/won screen...

I think google is not solving this on this on purpose. The problems are obvious and a lot of apps are affected. It really can't be that hard to download an image from a web server and show it, without causing memory leaks and slowdowns. Google is not interested in helping the WP platform, so they probably don't care at all if their plugin slows down WP apps (they might even like that).
