Re: Ever growing OWSTIMER.EXE

Wei,

I have seen this problem myself and it definitely impacts performance. I
have servers in a simple test environment, that do little except incoming
email, some usage analysis once a night, the occasional backup, and the
OWSTIMER just keeps consuming more and more RAM without ever dropping. Even
when essentially inactive (no users are using it because everyone is at
lunch) it stays high, and the following day it is higher by just a little.
The only thing that works is a reboot or to stop and restart the sharepoint
services.

I had to back Henry on this, I've seen it too.

Hello Henry,

I would like to know whether this issue have impact your performance of
your machine.

The OWSTIMER.EXE is running the timer job of Sharepoint in a schedule. So
when it was running the job, it will consume a lot of memory. And when
finishing the job, the memory will go down.

Please let me know if I am offset. Thank you!


Sincerely,

Wei Lu
