Memory effect of launching other applications

Investigating a memory leak (turned out to be caused by obtaining ques and then not releasing them...) I noticed a little thing; no matter what an LV application does the task manager will report that it grabs more and more memory everytime another application is launched (e.g. if a simple LV app when first launched has a stable memory use of 12516 KB and a new session of Internet Explorer is started the memory usage of the LV app is reported to jump to 12524...if a second LV app is launched as well the memory of the original LV app jumps again, now to 12564, and it goes on and on...).

Does anyone know what the background for this is?

I'm using LV7 and LV 6.1 on WinXP.

Hi Mads,

I have detected the same for LV6i on WinNTSP6a with IE 5.5.
It seems it does not occur with notepad or paint or it would occupy less then 1K in the LV application.

I'm seeing the same thing with 7.0 on XP with IE 6.0. I'm going to submit this to NI. It only happens when I continue to open multiple instances of IE. I know that IE is involved with LabVIEW somehow but not clear on the specifics.
