windows 2008 r2 iis worker proccess memory usage increase
- by nLL
I have this web site written in c#. around 400-500 users online at any time. it was on windows 2008 32 bit machine before and never ever locked/slowed down due to increased memory consumption up until i upgraded it's server to win 2008 r2 64 bit.
Old server had only 4 gig ram and quad core cpu at 2ghz. site was working just fine.
since i've upgraded the server i noticed (2 times with in 10 days) it started to eat ram. last night it went up to 4 gb ram. with ram increase response slows down quite a lot. recycling app pool doesn't help. I have to restart it's worker process to recover.
i've noticed this usually happens if there are continuous errors. as i didn't change anything in the code am i safe to assume it is not related to memory leak in the code?
did anyone came across something like that?
same thing happens if i create continuous errors with classic asp.
thanks
