From looking at the screenshot you provided, I do not see anything nearing 2.7 gigabytes of consumption. Assuming that the numbers are in bytes, even the total consumption for .NET objects that are alive is 608 MB, with 263 MB of that in OpcLabs.* objects. For my part, I am fine with that, for 50,000 items.

If the 2.7 GB number corresponds to something like the "Private Bytes" performance counter, it may be that the .NET has allocated it and is not using it momentarily. Unless there a system-wide memory shortage, there is nothing that prevents .NET from allocating more memory for the process than that is actually needed, if it "feels like" doing so.

Thank you very much for the insight. We were not complaining about a memory leak, we were only concerned by the actual memory usage based on 50000 OPC DA Item Subscriptions and how this may impact our product running on a 32-bit system, if need be.

Kind regards,

Brett.

Hello,

are you suspecting/complaining about memory leak (objects not being ever deallocated), or just a memory consumption (per item) that is higher that one would intuitively expect?

If the problem is just the memory consumption per item: We have no numbers to provide, and whatever the consumption per item is, it is OK in our perception.

Best regards

High Memory Usage From OPCLabs During Runtime was created by Bishop
My team and I have noticed that after subscribing to 50000 OPC DA Items our memory grows to approximately 2.7 GB and hovers there for the duration of the applications lifecycle. A memory profiling tool was used to take snapshots of the memory allocation, seen in the figure below.



We have noticed that a comparison of two snapshots shows that more than half of the total byte size is allocated to the OPCLabs namespace and we would, therefore, like to know if this is typical or abnormal behavior? In essence, what is the peak memory usage expected for x number of OPC DA Item subscriptions?

Kind regards,

Brett.
