powerpoint interop slows down

[Savan Gandhi]

Hi,
I am using power point COM interop from vb.net. I am creating a new PPT by
copy-pasting slides from two or more source PPTs. I am doing this in a loop
of say 100 times. Over the time, the same process takes more time. I am
properly closing PPT instances and using releasecomobject to release the COM
reference. Moreover, I also checked the memory used by powerpoint and my
application. They are nearly same and no significant rise is found in that.

Can anyone explain this degradation over time. This is very critical issue.
The degradation rises exponentially and is too much.

Thanks,
Savan
