Nazgulled Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Hi, I started a new project and without chaging any form property, without coding anything, I just build the exe and it's process on the task manager was about 14.XXX Kb isn't that too much? I'm asking this, because I'm coding a simple app wich creates/reads/writes texts files and has a few options, 2 forms, nothing much, simple thing and it has about 16.XXX Kb of memory usage, sometimes goes lower, I think I saw it around 10/11.XXX Kb one time, I think it was on Release instead of Debug. Nevertheless, isn't too much? Quote
Gladimir Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Nevertheless, isn't too much?I don't think so. I believe what you are obseving is the cost of the .NET CLR. Quote Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence. - Napoleon Bonaparte
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted September 11, 2004 Administrators Posted September 11, 2004 .Net handles memory through a process called Garbage Collection. The GC is lazy by design and will not attempt to reclaim memory if there isn't a need, and it tunes this to the system it is running on. How much RAM is in the system you are running your app on?

Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted September 11, 2004 Administrators Posted September 11, 2004 When you look at the figures whats 16K when you have 1/2 Gig of RAM going spare ;) Quote Posting Guidelines FAQ Post Formatting Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. -- Albert Einstein
