Thanks, I'll take a look at that blog. The numbers I gave were hit only after about 6 minutes of using the app. Of course, knowing the app I knew right where to go for big memory usage. Interesting is that IE had the best memory management for my app. It was only slightly better than Chrome while doing the same clicks in the app and over 100m better than Firefox.
Thanks again for the blog link. Hopefully I'll learn something. One thing I already learned was the profiler really is not of much use for looking at memory. I was able to rule out any memory leaks in my app though. I didn't see anything hanging around that I did not expect.

Use of the profiler is kind of a dark art too. I do recall IE not releasing memory the Flash Player requested at times. Plus IE has other issues at play, eh? Anyhow, my goto guy for info on profiling and memory stuff is Jun Heider of Realeyes Media. He has presented numerous times on using the profiler, memory management, etc and has even wrote several chapters in Flex 3 Professional. His blog under this category is http://www.iheartair.com/?cat=47 Adobe docs on this are also a main resource of mine for this http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/profiler_1.html Good Luck!

My app is showing: In Profiler: Peak: 45m Current: 41m System.totalMemory: 118m Task Manager Browser: 463m I know the Profiler in Flex 3 is not an accurate measure of memory at all, and can be used to monitor instances and such. But I'm hoping to find some good information on why such a huge difference from System.totalMemory and the memory the Browswer is taking.
