What does this IIS memory dump mean? (reserved memory)
- by Jesse
My w3wp's are recycling every 60 seconds after using too much virtual memory.
I ran the IIS Debug Diagnostic Tool to capture a memory dump before the worker process recycled; the most interesting part seems to be this:
Virtual Allocation Summary
Reserved memory 4.88 GBytes
Committed memory 328.27 MBytes
Mapped memory 17.36 MBytes
Reserved block count 524 blocks
Committed block count 1082 blocks
Mapped block count 43 blocks
So that 4.88 GBytes of reserved memory seems really big. But neither the DotNetMemoryAnalysis or the regular Memory Pressure Analyzer seems to tell me where that 4.88 GB went.
How can I find out?
