We have a D2007 application whose memory footprint grows steadily when running on Windows Server 2008 (x64, sp1). It behaves normally on Windows Server 2003 (x32 or x64), XP, etc... where it goes up and down as expected. We have tried with the included Memory Manager or the latest FastMM4 4.92 with the same results. Has anyone tried to monitor the memory usage of any Delphi app on Win2008 and would confirm?
