Hi - I've been using .NET for a couple years but just ran into an issue I'm not sure about. I've got an multitrack audio editing workstation that is of course extremely performance sensitive, and I don't put anything on the machine that's not strictly necessary. I turn every service off that's not critical (at the very least I set 'em to 'Manual'), and trim every feature I can, like turning off CD auto-start, things like that, anything that's polling or eating cycles. I'd like to put some utility apps of my own creation on this machine (Windows Forms and Console apps) but I'm not really sure how the innards of .NET really work, i.e. does the .NET framework affect performance when not in use? Does it only impact the system when I start my app? These apps are strictly maintenance apps and would would not need to be run at the same time the audio recording/editing is happening. I don't believe there's any service that .NET is dependent upon, it's a set of DLLs from what I understand? Does the CLR go completely away when I shut down my app?
Just want to keep it as lean and mean as possible. Thanks ahead of time for your help. Andy =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor� http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
