Hi, Jon...

I also had too much memory being used by a COM+ app, but it had queued
components in it, and was not doing disk IO by itself, but it was doing it
under the covers through MSMQ.

My thought is that my problem may be related, in someway, to what is
described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q312118

I think that, maybe, it can be your case, also...

This may sound stupid, but try to add some calls to System.GC.Collect() in
the middle of your processing... This solved my problem, but I'm not sure
why. Maybe it's because when worker(s) thread(s) is(are) blocked(s) in calls
to Collect(), the finalizer thread described in the article is abled to run
and finish it's work.

Hope this helps,
Marcelo
