Wht actually do you want to do? Thanks & Regards, Pramod "Everyone is a genius at least once a year"

I tried that before posting - I don't think it works. The md5 sum of helloworld.exe is unchanged by running "ngen install helloworld.exe".

Thanks. I think I know what the slowdown is due to - it is probably due to JITting. Now, if I knew how to force the compiler to JIT everything without having to do it in an ad-hoc way like running the benchmark twice.. -- modified at 17:34 Tuesday 5th December, 2006

I'd expect that such products (at least Bamboo Prevalence) will use virtual memory when necessary, as Windows may allocate more memory than the RAM available when an application asks for it. As for setting the limit for when virtual memory will be used, Bamboo Prevalence does not expose such a setting. Maybe the OS will let you set such limits...!?!? Have a look at my latest article about Object Prevalence with Bamboo Prevalence.

Thanks, that is a good possibility. I had looked into in-RAM databases a bit before, and your note inspired me to look at them some more.

Thanks Julian. That is just what I wanted to know. Andrew

What is the equivalent quantity in managed .NET (perhaps accessible through the Font class)?
