A couple of years ago, I blogged about my findings after analysing the memory usage of RSS Bandit using VMMap. I found that numerous .NET assemblies were appearing twice in the virtual memory region of RSS Bandit and that this behaviour was a known issue to Microsoft. Well if you have a look at the Microsoft Connect page for this issue, you’ll spot that as of .NET 4.0 this issue has been resolved. I’m yet to perform any analysis myself on .NET 4.0 applications, to check if duplication of assemblies has been eradicated, but still, it’s nice to see that this has been resolved.
