Using memory wisely in .NET

Using memory wisely in .NET
clipped from msdn.microsoft.com

The physical memory used by your application is an important performance metric. You should use the least possible memory and resources so there is as much as possible left over for other processes. This is not just about being a good citizen; your application will benefit from a lower memory footprint, and this benefit can be dramatic if your memory usage is big enough to consume available physical memory and push the machine into paging. But even if you are targeting high-end machines and paging is not your main threat, you should use memory wisely. The cost of memory management in the common language runtime (CLR) can be significant for applications that allocate memory carelessly.
