Puzzled by memory usage...

Thursday, 01 July 2004

Less than a minute

I have this command line app, when running in a 'normal' command window, it uses a fair whack of memory (around 60mb), but the second I minimize to taskbar, the memory usage drops to around 10mb....anyone any ideas why???

UPDATE: Apparently this has to do with 'Working Set size", it's generally nothing to get concerned over...there's a pretty good discussion here on pretty much the same topic...
