I realise its only a rough or approximate tool, but all the same which of the memory measures is the most "real" one? Working Set/Peak Working set/Virtual memory/Page faults? Because I have some of my programs running all the time along with Sysinternals too, it's an extra free lazy check ie I don't need to do anything other than look at the best indicators...
If I had a specific concern then I would go to the FastMM stuff. John ============================= Subject: RE: [DUG] Monitoring Memory use Neither are really that good for leaks - they will only spot major leaks over short time. The fast MM memory manager that comes with D2006/D2007 has several debug options - esp. for leaks. Check up on these options for spotting real leaks - you can use the full debug mode of fastMM to spot lots of things. What it does not give you is resource leaks (e.g. handles etc). This really requires another tool e.g. Automated QA stuff, or using something like process explorer and a lot of knowledge about how your program really works.
