<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
My application, when running in terminal server, takes about 80Mb of ram and more.<br />
The server is 2003 standard 32bit with 2 DualCore CPU's and 4Gb.<br />
I found a way to reduce the amount of working set used by my application with the SetProcessWorkingSetSizeEx<wbr /> method but the more users connecting to the terminal server I noticed that the 'system' process is using 25% of the CPU (100% of one core) after running this method to the level where it 'hurts ' the server performance.<br />
<br />
BTW, after running the method, it reduces the size of the WS form 80Mb to 5Mb. Also, I'm running this method every 1 minute.<br />
<br />
1. why is that process using the 'system' process?<br />
2. is it possible to reduce the usage of this process?<br />
3. if not, any other way to trim the memory of the application?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

SetProcessWorkingSetSizeEx and the 'system' process CPU usage

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
