devenv.exe memory consumption

[Icarus]

Hi:
My devenv.exe process is consuming about 600MB of my RAM memory. Mi PC only
have 1GB and I think that memory consumtion is a crazy!.
Googling I found that a VS Service Pack implements a solution of that
problem and It supuso to happen when, In the solucion, you have incrusted
controls like treeviews.
I installed VS SP and still have those highs memory consumption.

Any Ideas?

TIA Sergio

Hello Icarus,

Do u use ReSharper or CodeRush 3rd party addons?
They take a lot of memory

The memory consumption is caused by all of the features of Visual Studio.
Let's face it, software by definition uses resources. The more it does, the
more resources it consumes. You can turn off many of the features to improve
performance if you like. Of course, you will not be able to use turned-off
features, but the alternative is to upgrade your hardware. I find 1 GB of
RAM to be fairly small on a dev machine.
