title: ASP.NET Website Memory Usage quite high
body: <p>I have an ASP.NET website that will hit about 2gb physical memory used within about 3-4 days, which to me sounds really bad. At the moment, I have configured IIS to restart the app pool process when it hits 500mb. I would like to try and track down the problem. </p>
  
  <p>When creating a new instance of an object in .NET, I was under the impression that it doesn't need to be freed as the .NET garbage collector will do this for me.</p>
  
  <p>Is that the case or could this be one of the reasons I am having issues?</p>
