Re: working set and console applications

I started with Msgina.dll 5.2.3790.1830 and this has the working set issue
for both console and windows applications when using remote desktop.

I applied a fresh install SP2 and all security patches and are now on this
version: Msgina.dll 5.2.3790.3959. This has the working set issue for
console apps, but does not have the working set issue for windows
applications.

I have not been able to find a copy of Msgina.dll 5.2.3790.2525 to see if it
fixes the problem.

We are using windows 2003 server, 32 bit. My guess is that it was fixed in
SP1 (when using the hotfix) but broken again in SP2.

I've written a console based service that runs on windows 2003 servers.
When the service is minimized or if a user logs into and then out of
remote desktop, the entire working set of the process is paged to disk.

Are you on RTM, SP1 or SP2? Working set trimming during remote
logons is a known problem that should be fixed in WS03 SP2:

I think SP2 also has some changes to throttle modified page writer
disk IO when there is enough available physical memory. If most of the
modified pages in your working set are pagefile-backed, this can
significantly reduce performance impact of trimming on minimize.
