Hi -
Having recently been experimenting with creating Windows Service Applications, I have noticed that the memory footprint of such applications can be quite large.
I am using the File|New|Other|Service Application method in Delphi to create the service. I noticed that a basic service (with does not actually do anything) takes up about 2MB of memory when installed!
I was wondering if there is not a more efficient way to produce a Windows Service? The TService form that is created is useful (as I need to use at least 1 component) but was thinking that there must be a way to reduce the memory footprint of the resulting service ?
Any ideas.. much appreciated..
