Hello!
I have windows forms app (C# 2.0) which take about 60MB ram. I noticed
when I minimize it then memory usage drops to about 4MB. When I
maximize it then memory usage is about 16MB and then it is constant.
What is the reason of such behaviour ?
Regards.

The number you're looking at is almost certainly not memory usage, but
working set. Read a book like Microsoft Windows Internals if you want to
know all the details.
If not, don't worry about it, but do keep this in mind: memory that
isn't being used in some way is being wasted (literally), and
applications that use GC are more efficient (in amortized collection
time) the more memory they use, therefore using more memory means faster
applications.

More memory usage doesn't always mean faster applications. What it means is
that the GC doesn't have to work as often which should speed up your
application to a point. However, if your working set exceeds the available
physical memory, your application will start to slow down as Windows swaps
parts of it to disk.

Hello,
I'm exploring why one of my C# .NET apps has "high" memory usage, and
whether I can reduce the memory usage.
I have an app that wakes up and processes text files into a database
periodically. What happens, is that the app reads the contents of a
text file line by line into an ArrayList. Each element of the ArrayList
is a string representing a record from the file. The ArrayList is then
processed, and the arraylist goes out of...

that the memory just grows and grows and then recycles on us.

Hello,
I'm trying to track down a memory issue with a C++ application that
I'm working on:
In a nutshell, the resident memory usage of my program continues to
grow as the program runs. It starts off at a nice 4% of memory, then
slowly grows up to 50% and beyond. This translates to around 2 gigs
of physical memory, and that's really way more memory than this
program should be taking up.

I've some troubles getting my memory freed by python, how can I force
it to release the memory ?
I've tried del and gc.collect() with no success.
Here is a code sample, parsing an XML file under linux python 2.4
(same problem with windows 2.5, tried with the first example) :
#Python interpreter memory usage : 1.1 Mb private, 1.4 Mb shared

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
