Application commit size

Hi,

When my console application just started (using F11 in VisualStudio) in windows 7 its "commit size" seen in "Task Manager" is 700MB and Memory (Private Working Set) is 1MB. After doing some calculations this rises to about 20MB.

I want to reduce the commit size because is prevents customers from starting as many instances as they want simultaneously.

One thing that I imagine would affect this is the linker setting: Linker-System: Heap/Stack Reserve/Commit

But I see no effect changing it -> I leave it at the default.

I'm out of ideas, how do I proceed?

Regards,

Magnus
