Just another ignorant weirdo from Antwerp, Belgium trying to make sense out of it all
I was wondering why my VirtualPC in which I'm running Visual Studio .NET 2005 CTP (f.k.a. Whidbey) got so incredibly slow. I gave the virtual machine 512MB RAM and I only had 2 Visual Studio's open in it (with fairly simple projects), along with an explorer window and a Word document. I did keep the Visual Studio's open for a pretty long time and apparently that's not such a good idea: Windows was using over a gig of memory. One Visual Studio instance took up around 120MB, the other one maxed at 200MB. Talk about a little memory leak... Let's hope this improves in the beta, or - shudder - is it supposed to eat up that amount of memory?
