Hi all,
I wrote a tiny little Windows Forms application that periodically checks
a database for certain conditions and then pops up a message box asking if
you want to do something about those conditions. It runs in the system
tray. I find that when I start this program, it automatically eats up 11 MB
of memory on my machine. When the prompt appears, that climbs to 17 MB.
If a user answers yes to the prompt, it will open another window that
has a web browser control built onto it. (This is just the old web browser
control that I would have used if I had built the thing using VB6) So an
Interop assembly exists as well. When this form loads, memory usage jumps
to 36 MB. This is craziness since the application is so small and simple.
Is it normal for a VB application built using .NET to take this much
memory? I even tried tunning other VB.NET apps that are shipped as samples,
and their initial memory usage seems to be a bit high as well. My
supervisor saw this and wants an explanation. Best I could offer is that
this extra memory is for the Just-In-Time compilation and the managed
environment we get with .NET. Is this true?

Well that answers that question about the IE Control, but what about before
that's loaded? My application, without doing anything but running a Windows
Forms Timer control is eating up 17 MB of RAM. that seems a bit much. (Or
does it?)

I think that's still normal if the memory usage is not increasing from
time to time (maybe memory leak).

Would a Python process consume more memory on a PC with lots of memory?
For example, say I have the same Python script running on two WinXP
computers that both have Python 2.4.0. One computer has 256 MB of Ram
while the other has 2 GB of Ram. On the machine with less Ram, the
process takes about 1 MB of Ram. On the machine with more Ram, it uses 9
MB of Ram.
Is this normal and expected behavior?

I have noticed some 'weird' memory usage in a vb.net windows app
The situation is as follows
I have an app (heavy on images) with 2 forms
(actually there are more forms and on starting the app I load some things into memory for global use of the app but I'll use only 2 starting forms to explain the situation)

We have a VERY simple .NET C# Form Application, that has about a 23MB
Memory Footprint. It starts a window runs a process and does a regular
expression. I have done a GC.Collect to make sure that, no memory is
lying around. GC reports only 84k of allocations. Starting 5-10 of

there a way to reduce this?

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...

How come .Net applications use so much memory? Every application I compile
uses at least 10 MB of memory, even the ones consisting of only a form and
nothing else. If I minimize them though the memory usage drops to a couple
hundred KB. Why?
Is there anything I should to to prevent this? I have compiled in release
and deactivated all forms of debugging, I think!
Thanks,

How to detect memory leaks of python programms, which run in an
