woes are caused by BDS - I just had the PC running slow, according to
sysinternals System Information it was using 955MB of ram (system memory is
768MB hence everything started crawling), on closing BDS it immediately dropped
to 355MB. I had my big project open (with RvSystem) but first I closed it
and opened a small project - it didn't free up any memory, but closing BDS did.

running out of memory and coming up with messages about "Windows has run
out of virtual memory and is increasing the page file size" The hard
disk goes crazy, the pc slows to a crawl and usually the Windows session goes
cuckoo after that, even exiting programs to lessen memory use can take
forever, and usually the best is to reboot. I have tried to narrow it
down - Firefox with lots of tabs? well I tried Opera instead and IE7. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

guess so far is BDS 2006 with a project open using Rave Reports - it only
started happening after I used Rave in a few projects. Projects
without it I think are be OK. I am only using the RvSystem
component for code based reports, although it is quite large - it adds some
800K to the program. Rebuild such a project a few times over a few
hours, and it seems the system runs out of memory. This is without
running the Rave printing at all - I am testing other stuff, also using
the debugger. Process explorer doesn't show any obvious candidate.
Or alternatively it could be any component with large memory usage - Rave is
the only one I use of such size. Or maybe the debugger is another
candidate (I often run programs with a few breakoints set to check some
variable values, thats pretty much all I do with it). </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
