Hi,

I am involved in setting up applications in production
environment and reporting application misbehaves. I am
sure that the application xyz.exe developed by one of the
developer( which runs as windows service) is memory and
cpu Intensive ( In fact the application goes on occupying
the memory as the days pass ). I have to prove on paper by
some statistics that the application is poorly
designed/coded.

Kindly suggest me where to start with and what all stuff I
need to know. also please suggest any URL's / books.

Regards

Probably the easiest way I know is to use System Monitor in Windows 2000.
You can then monitor all processes and correlate memory and CPU usage
between this application and others. For instance, if the application is
leaking memory, this would show it happening. More info about this tool is
available here:
