Ramon, Jon -

This is really confusing. Just to make sure we're measuring the same 
things (and not some random numbers that have no relation to reality ;-) 
let's make sure we're measuring the same thing. When I was running the 
test I used the windows task manager which, under the performance tab, 
displays the the number of total handles, threads, processes, memory etc.

When running the test I saw no relevant change in either handles, 
threads, memory, or commit charge. Did you use the same mechanism or did 
you use something else? If you didn't use the windows task manager, what 
did you use? And what does windows task manager report? If you see a 
change can you send me the before/after values when running our little 
"benchmark"?

Thanks,
