When you use CF (MX or any other version) with IIS, within IIS you have an "Application Isolation" option for each virtual server. If you choose "Low", the CF ISAPI DLL will be run in-process by the IIS process (INETINFO.EXE, I think). If you choose "Medium" (in IIS 5) or "High", the CF ISAPI DLL will be run out-of-process. Since it's a DLL, not an EXE, it has to be run by something else, and that something else will be DLLHOST.EXE in this case. So, if you have "Application Isolation" set to "Medium" or "High" for the virtual servers running CF, it's not unusual to see high memory usage by DLLHOST.EXE. Macromedia recommends that you run the CF ISAPI DLL in-process for better performance, in which case you wouldn't see DLLHOST.EXE using the memory, but rather INETINFO.EXE. There's nothing necessarily wrong with seeing high memory usage by either, though, as long as your server remains responsive.
