Hi, I have a question bug me for long time:
Open Task Manager and locate process of application which take more than 100MB of memory (under Mem Usage column), like Visual Studio or Internet Explorer.
Now, while keep Task Manager open and visible minimize the application, watch the Mem Usage drop suddenly to about 15MB and then start climbing.

The question is Why? Why does this happen and where is all the memory the application suddenly go?
I have Windows XP SP 3, I must say that under Vista I didn't saw the same behavior.

Thank you,
Ido.
