CLR garbage collection Handles. Growing out of control?

  • Has anyone watched this in the Performance Monitor. I think we have a memory leak because of our use of some CLR procedures.

    We are running version 9.0.3050. An Keep getting app unloads in the logs dues to memory pressure. When I look at the server it has

    40000 GC Handles and they seem to be growing. I'm guessing that its the issue identified here. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953497

    What's an abnormal amount of Handles?

  • It depends on your workload. That CU might fix your problem, but then again it might not either. What type of server is it; x86, x64? How much memory is in the server? What boot.ini parameters are set for memory; /3gb, /PAE, /USERVA? What are your CLR routines doing, and are they SAFE, EXTERNAL, or UNSAFE?
