Remote debugger service

[Smokey Grindel]

Does anyone know if I run the Visual Studio Remote Debugger service on my
development server will it slow down the system? Never used the service
before... use to just launch the remote debugging app to do it in the past..
thanks!

Every service that you allow to run on a Windows OS takes up additional
memory and resources. By default, a new installation of a Windows OS runs
services that may not be needed for a particular environment. Often these
un-needed services can be set to "disabled" in order to free up memory and
take up less resources.
An easy way to gauge what effect this service has on your OS is to set it up
and start it, and look at the working set (VM in Task Manager is a pretty
good indicator, though far from exact). Then you can be the judge. Some
services do not start anyway unless they are required to be used.

Run the Debug only to test problems, not run the service all the time, I
have the Remote Debugger installed in some servers to test the execution in
pre production (and some rare times in production). If you don't have any
debugger attached to the process the same will run without a problem (no
performance loss).
