We are in the process of migrating a 3rd party application from Win 2003 to
Win 2008 R2.  The application that likes to have larger amounts of
contiguos memory. In the past we had an issue with this and I was able to
address by following KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315407. This added
a Registry key HeapDecommitFreeBlockThreshold and set it to 262144. This
was suppose to lessen or avoid virtual address fragmentation

I have tried to research this further with respect to Win 2008 R2 to see if
this is no longer something that is pertinent or needs to be addressed
within the registry as Microsoft may have changed how it deallocates memory.

Any recommendations on whether this is no longer necessary in 2008 or is it
something that I should still be concerned with and add this registry
setting.

Thanks
