Is it just me, or is it usual for Visual Studio 2005 to grab 700+ Mb after a couple of hours? This just seems pretty extreme. A leak perhaps?
I’m working on a winforms project that has about 10 user controls in it, but other than that it’s a very light weight application. Interestingly I did not see this same level of memory use when I was running the “Professional” edition – only once I switched up to “Team” for Developers. This is a drag because at this point the only “Team” thing I’m using is the testing. Curiously I thought this was in all versions but when I opened the solution on Professional, it could not open the test project. At this point, I need to restart VS every 2 hours or so otherwise things just grind to a halt. What seems to be worse is that the amount paged get’s crazy – like 1.8 Gb! These are screen caps after running for about 40 minutes… 486Mb for devenv.exe
and a page file at 1.08 Gb!
This is a new AMD Athlon 64 with 1Gb or RAM, and it flies most of the
time, but once I get VS 2005 open, things start to bog down hard. Anyone
else having this problem? Know of any tweaks?
