  Memory leak with W3WP.EXE Reply Contact We are running a web portal which uses lot of xml/xsl files for rendering web pages. After loading these files we found that the memory consumption of the IIS 6.0 process (w3wp.exe) is increasing. This keeps on increasing as we load more and more XML documents. But the problem is that it  is not releasing the memory consumed. We are using Windows 2003 SP2 box. We have aslo ensured that all objects of the XML DOM elements as well as other objects are closed. Do anybody knows the solution for this problem?

  Re: Memory leak with W3WP.EXE Reply Contact I would make sure you are releasing the memory from your code + have the latest XML patches / service packs for the XML parser stuff.  I would suggest looking at using ASP.NET, which has great XML support and automated memory management.  Can you reproduce this on multiple machines?  if so, then it's worth reporting to MS.
