title: Vista, Visual Studio and OutOfMemoryExceptions
body: <p>I'm having a bit of a problem where VS won't build because I get OutOfMemoryExceptions. My Vista box with 2 GIG RAM, is using about 1 Gig of RAM when it starts up, and I am not even doing anything (just connecting to the network drives at work etc)</p>
  
  <p>When I then run Visual Studio devenv.exe peaks at around 730MB after a few builds, and I get the error, mostly needing a restart to rectify.</p>
  
  <p>I have disabled Aero and stopped as many unneccessary services and applications in MSCONFIG. I know there is something about Vista using memory and not being bloated, but using up half my memory after just starting up seems a bit excessive (it is the same on a few dev machines).</p>
  
  <p>What sort of peak memory is your application generating and what can I do to try negate this issue?</p>
