John,

Thanks for your reply.

It seems that it is because I am debugging applications on the server.
The non-debugged applications are quite running normally. "% GC
Time" is fairly low on my machine if I do not debug on it.

I think that I am not doing well that I did not use "using" when creating
some objects which should be Disposed later. Even though I have
try...catch...finally statements to ensure memory is released. Actually
if I debug, some exceptions are not "expected", so there may be
chances that some objects created fail to be disposed.
