DLLHOST eats up memory

I have checked IIS caching settings under Master
Properties > Home Directory > Application Configuration
window.

Under App Mapping tab:
--"Cache ISAPI application" is checked

Under Process Options tab:
--"Number of script engines cached" is 125
--for "Script File Cache" Do not cache ASP files option
is checked.

Ours is not a high traffic site, i.e. 10-100 connections
at given time

any idea about, how can I trace to the DLL which makes
this problem?

Hi,

try to search 'on error resume next' code. It may be the=20
origin of your problem!

If you think you are experiencing a memory leak, check your asp code to ensure that all objects being created, are destroyed when
finished. This can cause a memory leak. The Pooled Out Of Process package is what web sites run under by default. You will notice
their appliation protection set to medium.

And if you have any custom components, run them under com+. This will help, because if a component is leaking, you will see that
package growing, and not the POOP package.

Thank you. I hope this information is helpful.
