I've got a new server, and am in the process of putting my new ASP.net website on it. I've just been testing it, so I click on a link really fast over and over. As I click on this link, w3wp.exe in the tast manager memory usage keeps rising and rising. When I stop clicking, it doesn't seem to degrade.

I understand w3wp.exe handles viewstate, but it's not filling me with confidence that it's not going to soak up every mb of memory we have (2gb :-( ) when we actually deploy really soon.

Is this normal behaviour?

This is a problem with the way the site was coded, thus I'm voting to move to SO, where they might be able to give Tom some pointers on debugging his excessive memory usage. The server is only doing what it's being told. – mfinni Jun 19 '11 at 0:13
