.NET EXE memory footprint

by

The reason for the large memory footprint is that the JIT compiler and Windows Forms engine are being loaded with your process. To reduce this, you can do the following:

[DllImport("psapi.dll")]
static extern int EmptyWorkingSet(IntPtr hwProc);

static void MinimizeFootprint()
{
    EmptyWorkingSet(Process.GetCurrentProcess().Handle);
}

This should remove as much as possible from your memory footprint. There may be a way that you can also reduce the amount of memory that is set aside for runtime memory allocation.
