Subject: [THIN] Windows 2008 RAM Usage testing
Guys,
I've been doing a bit of research for my own purposes but which might be
helpful for others, and I've got some gaps. I made a throwaway comment a week
or so ago about how Office 2007 seemed to use less RAM under Windows 2008, and
thought it would be helpful to quantify that.
I've therefore tested, not very scientifically, different versions (2003 and
2007) of Office, running under different TS OSes (2003/8, 32/64-bit). Please
note that I only tested each app once, the platforms have different hardware on
them, and different numbers of users plus other apps running on them, so these
figures should definitely be taken with a pinch of salt.
This is also absolutely not an analysis of how an OS runs with 20, 50, or a
hundred different sessions of the same App; I wasn't looking at Total Ram, just
taking the reported figure out of Task Manager.
Also please note that these were running pure TS, no Citrix involved.
I also have gaps; if others could test to fill in those gaps this might become
quite useful.
The obvious conclusion (With all the 'take with a pinch of salt bits' above)
from this is that either Windows 2008 64-bit is vastly more efficient at
handling Office 2007, *or* that it's Task Manager reports differently (?More
accurately?) - perhaps cleverer people than I might comment?
