Yes, there are programs like that. You can even cobble something like that
together yourself, using Performance Monitor and freeware tools. However, on
a stable configuration, there shouldn't be any "memory overload". The CF
server will consume the memory it needs, but it should get to a point where
it doesn't need any more, and will simply reuse what it has already
consumed. If the server has enough physical memory, and you don't have any
memory leaks caused by ODBC drivers or third-party components, everything
should be OK.
My point was that you probably don't want to run anything else on the NT
server that's running CF.
