While I agree with you 100% on every technical level, the user's

get cranky. They see a small number, they're happy.
I really wish I had a better answer. For almost all the small client-side
stuff we do, this works well. Especially as these apps load, and don't
really do anything. They're doing almost no processing, no data base
stuff - they're just sitting idle and reporting that they're taking 20-50
megs of memory.
Running GC.Collect over & over doesn't even solve the problem - the app
still reports a huge amount of memory, and the users perception then is
that we suck.
Please - give me a better solution! :)
Believe it or not, when I ran into that I actually took the approach of education the user. It took a bit and not all go it, but most did and I no longer heard complaints on this.
