    How to minimize physical and virtual memory consum

    Hello All,

    I have a Window service developed using Visual Studio .Net 2003. I am using VC++ .Net for the service development. The physical and virtual memory consumption is very high. How should i minimize this memory consumption. Please give me some clue to achieve this.

    Thanks

    Firstly, what does the service do, and how does it do it?

    Just to get you started: http://www.catch22.net/tuts/minexe.asp

    Yes executable does make a difference, especially when your program is imaged into RAM.

    Or perhaps it starts small and then slowly increases over time?
    The answer in this case is obvious, fix your code to stop it leaking memory.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
