Hi all,

I know this is probably an easy problem to fix, or at least I hope so, but for the life of me I can't figure out why the Private Bytes in my w3wp.exe process just keeps climbing until the application pool gets recycled. I have tried all the usual approaches to the problem such as ensuring all db connections are closed and killed off, making sure there are no infinite loops (well i tried to, hard to know) etc. No matter what I try, the memory usage just keeps creeping up by around 10Mb per minute. The weird thing is when I change one of the code files included on the page (a large one, around 70k), and upload it to the server, the memory usage of w3wp.exe drops back down to normal (around 50Mb) and begins creeping up again (almost as if the newly uploaded page had been loaded into memory several times and once the w3wp.exe process sees a fresh version it unloads them all only to begin again.)

This problem has been doing my head in for around 5 days now and any help at all would be appreciated,

Many thanks in advance,

Osh
