iis memory errors

Hi,
We're running IIS version 5 and we're having some issues with pages
timing out, even with static html pages. We've been tracking memory usage
and we start getting timeouts right around the point we get to a particular
percentage of memory used. Around this point we start getting 'ASP out of
memory' errors and things start timing out. CPU usage also climbs while the
number of connections stays pretty much the same. First of all, what does
this sound like? And secondly, will just throwing a GB or two of memory on
help? Thanks,
Morgan Kleene

Re: iis memory errors

It could be that your application requires more memory than what you
currently have, so adding enough memory can help.

Or it could be that something is leaking memory and that no amount of added
memory helps - it simply delays the inevitable "out of memory".

There is no way to distinguish between these two possibilities other than
"figure it out" -- you must know how much memory your application requires
in order to properly size the server.

This means that a connection or a bit of code running in IIS is not up
to par. You can see what connections are running and even hanging by
using this program:
