Re: Evaluating D2005, help needed.

1) Rather big memoryleak in the compiler.
   This is easy to reproduce.
   Make new .net project
   Open the default unit and compile 10 times (ctrl-F9).
   You will see an average loss of about 5Mb.
   This means that D2005 is vertually unlusable on 512Mb machines.
   We can't upgrade all our machines to 1Gb or more (budget reasons).


How does the problem in the compiler affect users in production?

For development, IMHO, 1 gig is the new 256 megs <g> using almost any current IDE.

Unless I can offer a good fix for these problems, I'll have no other choice to advise a change to Visual studio.

Is this a "grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" thing, or have you evaluated VS 2003? If so, can you post the result of your evaluation of Visual Studio for comparison purposes? That would be interesting and useful. We've just started taking a look at VS 2005.
