I've got the same problem with my application: the profiler says that
there are large chunks of free memory but it is still acquiring more

I'd really like to know it.

Memory only is reused in .NET when "memory pressure" causes a GC. That is
to say, when memory becomes scarce it will reuse existing memory, and not
before.
