Something doesn't make sense. I wouldn't expect a SWF on a client to
affect server memory in any way. Just like me running a mail client on
my machine doesn't affect your machine.
I thikn you need to quantify "It" in the "it reserves about 5.6GB of
virtual memory." What is the it? Not the SWF and not the client's
browser. Does IIS reserve that memory? Or WebORB? Or something else?

We have a Flex-based shopping cart applicatiion, using Cairngorm,
WebORB, and ASP.NET. It's running on IIS 7/Windows 2008 server. The
release version of the SWF is about 1.4MB in size. This is the only
application hosted on this server.
Our server team tells us that when a client launches the application,
it reserves about 5.6GB of virtual memory, including 3GB of RAM. It
only used the memory it neede, however. Since this is a new
installation for the server team, we ran some comparison tests to see
what "normal" is. Each of the following apps were put in their own
application pool:
* An application with a plain ASP.NET (HTML) page did not reserve the
memory.
* A small (~150k) Flex SWF in an HTML page reserved 5.6GB, but again
used much less.
* A 4k Flash SWF in an HTML page reserved 3GB.
Although this behavior is not causing an immediate problem, we are
concerned that this could become a bigger issue down the road. We
would also like to understand how a SWF that runs on the client might
affect server virtual memory.
I'll appreciate any thoughts you might have on this issue.
Thank you,
Kevin
