You can use NT/W2k's Performance Monitor to identify a memory leak.
Unfortunately, all CF templates will show up under one process. There are
tools which will show all child processes spawned by a parent under NT but
most are commercial. Also, CF doesn't spawn children as far as I know but
rather, creates multiple threads under the single process. Calls to internal
objects like CFHTTP, etc. may be treated separately though. The first thing
I'd do is audit all code written in the aforementioned timeframe. If you
make use of COM objects or other external resources make sure to audit those
too. With IIS you may be able to use the Transaction Manager to narrow down
the field a bit as far as COM/DCOM is concerned.
As a start with PerfMon, try these counters:
Memory - Pages/sec
Memory - Available bytes
As Available bytes falls, Pages/sec should increase.

If you have a particular process you'd like to test:
Process - <Instance> - Handle count
Process - <Instance> - Thread count
Process - <Instance> - Working set

Subject: Jumpin Jesus! Thers a MEMORY LEAK!!!!
Anyone know how to track down a memory leak. I was away for a week and now
my server is runnin out of virtual memory every 3-4 days. Even under the
bright lights, isolation, chinese water torture, and Twisted Sister blaring
on 10, my junior developers swear they havent written any rogue code. Is it
possible to track this down somehow?
