App Pool Memory exceeds 500mb's after caching

Everytime I cache the WURFL xml document on my webserver, the memory usage for my app goes from 70 mb to over 500 and causes the app pool to recycle due to a memory limit of 512 mb on that app pool. Obviously I can increase my app pool memory limit, but my infrastructure team and I want to know why this is happening and is this normal?

Thanks

Hi,

We're looking into the situation to make sure there is nothing unexpected happening. In order to reproduce, can you tell me which version of .NET and IIS you are using and if you notice the memory increase right after the WURFL data is reloaded or if it only happens after lots of devices have visited your application?

IIS7 and 4.0. The memory increases right after the file is cached.

Normally, the .NET API will allocate about 50MB of memory, so something isn't right here.

Is there more information you can provide about your configuration that can help us reproduce the problem?

Are you sure the memory consumption is not the responsibility of other software running on that server?

Thanks
