NotifyIcon
Why the hell does it use so much ram for a tiny ass picture!?
When working on an example of a context menu and NotifyIcon made with only code, either language I used (C# or VB) it ALWAYS took up about 17MB of ram.
When I add it to any of my projects it seems to add about 10-11MB of ram usage. That's just physical usage, I wasn't even monitoring the VM usage.
Why the hell? Does the framework have a memory leak somewhere?

only code ? this code creates objects in memory . I mean we don't measure what these lines consume of memory . So , when you declare an instance of Context menu , it may take some big allocation on the heap plus the icons if you added some .

It shouldn't need to allocate 11MB for an icon. It's usually a bit more with the context menu.

Ok , this happens the first time you run it but after couple of times of running the same app , this number should be decreased to 60% at least , did you notice this ?

No it was always the same and it shouldn't decrease just by running it a couple of times, it should remain constant.

My computer does consume less after running the same app multiple times . Try it yourself .Anyways , we'd discussed this before in a long thread in VB.NET Forum , maybe you can get something useful if you look it up .

No we didn't. You're thinking of compiling, since a .NET application is compiled every execution and is partially cached (parts are still compiled each time). The memory an icon uses should be the same each time.

Look it up where? The MSDN is one large cluster**** with jack crap about this.

JIT Compiler is one of the reasons . I've just found out .
