High Memory Usage

[Guest Clayton]

I'm still trying to find out what is causing a svchost.exe to use high

amounts of memory on Vista 64

I'm not sure if it is normal but one svchost.exe is using 165,588K, I goto

services and the PID is 360 if that is any help

 

Thanks

Clayton,

Here you may find some leads:

also some alleged solutions here:

Mine uses 183,608K in Vista Business 64, but with 8GB of ram I haven't been

bothered to find out why.

Re: High Memory Usage

 

Any noticable differents having 8GB of ram instead of 4GB Rob?

Re: High Memory Usage

 

I started with 4Gb, but then decided to play with virtual machines and given

that another 4Gb was only $100 I may as well upgrade. Overall it is usefull

for running several virtual machines simultaniously but in general usage

there is probably no benefit over 2Gb ram even with all the Vista prefetch

stuff utilizing the free ram I doubt there is any significant performance

boost.

Robert,

Games usually benefit from 4 GB against 2GB.

They load and exit faster, and you can switch very quickly to the desktop

when making a pause to the game.

Great article, Carlos.

 

btw, I cannot see my own reply to Robert in my WinMail. If you hadn't

quoted it I wouldn't have known what I told him. I have a lot of replies

that just aren't showing up after I post them. Ever. What's up with that?

I don't see them using Google groups to look either. How come you can see

them and I can't? About one in ten of my replies are like that. Your reply

was my only indication that my reply ever posted to the server.

Re: High Memory Usage

 

Am I able to find any history of my memory peek?

I heard that if you are running Vista 64 it's best to have 6-8GB, I'm

running 4GB now and just doing basic things peeks to just over 2.5GB

Re: High Memory Usage

 

Colin, I have noticed this as well. I 've started to think it happens

sometimes when you reply from NNTP to a Web based post that is about to

expire.

 

But I really don't know.

 

I will never learn to understand how people actually prefer the Web for

this, more and more 'old-time' forums are continuously converting, even as

we communicate!

 

Perhaps, though, it is not so strange as relatively few people seem to

realize that Internet didn't start out being Web Based!

 

(Gopher, Veronica and Archie, have they joined the Dinosaurs?)

Re: High Memory Usage

 

Colin,

I use the NG web interface:

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general&lang=en&cr=US&r=b7945a49-1582-4e99-b932-32fc064ebe5e

instead of Winmail.

Maybe that explains it all.

Re: High Memory Usage

 

Tony,

My only connection with Internet at work is via web and access to NG's via

Outlook Express is somewhat firewalled or blocked.

So it is my only choice, web based access to the NG.

Otherwise you would not be able to enjoy my company all day long!

:)

Re: High Memory Usage

 

Gasp! Horrible thought, Carlos!

 

No, honestly, I don't mind the web based interface, and I have used it

myself at times, it's quite handy for quickly reading up on the content but

it does put wrinkles to my rear-end that it is slowly eating away at the

slightly better interface that was created along with the NG's themselves.

 

The Novell Forums (very active, helpful and gentile, like ours) now are

exclusively running off the web so now a Newsreader is suddenly becoming a

disadvantage.
