Detailed Description

This class provide information about memory utilized by current process. This information includes:

• Private Memory - synthetic value that tries to filter out the memory usage only by the process itself (allocated for data and stack), excluding dynamic libraries. These pages may be in RAM or in SWAP.
• Virtual Memory - amount of reserved and committed memory in the user-mode portion of the virtual address space. Notice that this counter includes reserved memory (not yet in used) and shared between processes memory (libraries).
• Working Set - set of memory pages in the virtual address space of the process that are currently resident in physical memory (RAM). These pages are available for an application to use without triggering a page fault.
• Pagefile Usage - space allocated for the pagefile, in bytes. Those pages may or may not be in memory (RAM) thus this counter couldn't be used to estimate how many active pages doesn't present in RAM.

Notice that none of these counters can be used as absolute measure of application memory consumption!

User should analyze all values in specific case to make correct decision about memory (over)usage. This is also prefferred to use specialized tools to detect memory leaks.

This also means that these values should not be used for intellectual memory management by application itself.
