I have had this before on a heavily visited site. The mem usage would keep growing, until it reached its limit, and then it would recycle approximately every hour (1 gig of ram). Problem ended up being in my code for dynamically generating images. Had to dispose those Bitmap/Image objects and set them to null. Now it behaves as expected; such that it will grow and then GC will kick in after a while to reclaim memory, and it does not keep recycling. casey

On one server that gets very little usage (2-5 users a day, and only a few hours of real use, but it does a whole lot) the process never deadlocks and never recycles itself. On another server, with another large application, and roughly 2000 unique visitors a day (each person staying for 30-60 minutes) the aspnet_wp process dies almost hourly. Sometimes more than once per hour, but it's been incredibly consistent... During downtimes (2-7am EST) the process is fine as it barely gets any use (it only seems to recyle every 4 hours). Is this directly due to something I'm doing? Or is there something else going on here I don't know about? TIA, Adam..
