aspnet_wp spiking memory usage

D

Ok,

I restart the aspnet_wp.exe, memory usage is at about 3 mb, the first
time I run one of my asp.net apps, the memory usage shoots to 30 mb
usage and remains there. Even if I close the IE window that I am
running my app in, the memory is not freed up. Is this normal? I am
imagining that the GC never cleans out the memory that aspnet_wp is
using.

Thank you

Yes this is normal, the application is probably cached in memory for faster
access.

Also are you using a lot of datasets? Datasets tend to suck up a lot of
memory.

That's pretty typical. The web application doesn't know when the
browser shuts down, so it remains ready to service new requests and
keeps cached information around.
