On 64 bit window 2003/2008 servers as soon as you give any .Net (.aspx) resource requests you would notice w3wp.exe taking large amount of memory in form of Virtual bytes.

Whereas looking into perfmon virtual bytes counter or in IIS 7 => Worker Processes.We would notice approx. 5.5 GB as virtual bytes occupied by w3wp.exe

    Hi, I've seen this on several servers. What does this mean? Is the process realy using 5,5GB of memory? Is this a memory leak in our application? Thanks, Nuno Pereira
