DebugDiag Memory Report

Hi,

I am wondering in the following section of Memory Pressure Analysis report
of w3wp.exe, what Reserved Memory means? Does it mean the amount of memory
reserved for Worker Process?

Thanks

Virtual Memory Summary
Size of largest free VM block 472.00 KBytes
Free memory fragmentation 98.31%
Free Memory 27.30 MBytes (1.33% of Total Memory)
Reserved Memory 1.60 GBytes (80.06% of Total Memory)
Committed Memory 380.96 MBytes (18.60% of Total Memory)
Total Memory 2.00 GBytes
Largest free block at 0x00000000`7a01a000

Reserved memory is memory that has been requested but has had not been used
yet, so is not backed by RAM or the page file.

Committed memory is memory that has been used and is backed by RAM or page
file.

So in this output, the actual memory in use (i.e. the amount of RAM/Page
used) is 380.96MB.

Some component(s) have requested an exceptionally large amount of memory,
but have not actually put anything there. But since the memory is reserved
nothing else will be able to use it.
