InetInfo.exe memory usage going very high

150MB is not very high at all. What happens if you told IIS to use 50MB of
RAM for various caching purposes, IIS itself took 10MB while various server
applications take up 50MB and use some more RAM for their caching? In that
case, 150MB seems just fine.

In particular, if you restart IIS and it starts at 150MB, I wouldn't worry
about it. It sounds like you're running a bunch of stuff on the web server.

If the memory usage climbs to 1GB and keeps going, then I would be
concerned.

You also have to realize that inetinfo.exe contains IIS and 3rd party code,
so even if its memory usage is high, it doesn't mean there's a problem with
IIS -- it may be a third party app that is leaking /using a lot of memory.
To isolate, I would move such apps to mediam/high isolation until you find a
dllhost.exe that increases in memory instead of inetinfo.exe.

In general, "high memory usage" issues are not easy to generically
troubleshoot because you cannot easily distinguish "memory leak" from
"aggressive caching" without establishing a memory baseline -- and few
people in the world establish such baselines, so one needs to be a good
troubleshooter to figure it out.

Hi all,

Does any one have any idea why InetInfo.exe memory usage goes very high (
Consistantly ) . The memory usage is nearly 150,000 K even when no user
sessions are avalaible. Restarting IIS also didnt work out .
