I have 512MB defined for the application pool - yet it is frequently recycling. The previous version (4.3) worked fine with 512MB. Perhaps 4.4 speed has seen improvements yet the memory requirements have risen. Would be nice if the nop team could do some tests and provide guidelines on memory requirements for an out of the box installation.
NopCommerce 4.40.1 does not fix the issue of high memory usage.
We have multiple NopComemrce x86 versions 4.40 and 4.40.1 that are requiring between 1 GB and 3 GB of app pool memory to run (1.5 GB private memory up to 2.5 GB of the virtual memory).
These are all small installs with just a few dozen products that when running NppCommerce 4.30 used under 200 MB of app pool memory to run.
Also, would it be possible to have a 'no source code' x86 available to download as most shared hosting providers run application pools in 32-bit mode?
Version 4.40.3 has resolved the memory issues. It consumes a bit more memory than earlier versions (now at about 350MB) but there is a speed improvement.
