Hi guys,
We have been using the MapSuite Desktop Edition 2.x for the past two years and are looking into upgrading to the Silverlight Edition 3.0 for our web-based solutions. We have implemented a prototype with the server side generating the map data and passing it on to the client Silverlight app using the SilverlightMapConnector. Although we haven't had any problems loading and displaying the map, we have found that the browser that runs the app chews up a lot of memory and keeps on using more (200+ MB) as you pan, zoom etc. The memory usage does not go down even after the map has finished processing the pan / zoom functions. We have also tried saving the image tile cache in the server but it doesn't solved the memory issue. It seems as if the client Silverlight app is storing all the map image tiles in memory as the user pans around / zooms in and out of the map causing the memory usage to bloat. In contrast, using Google Maps only takes up around 7-9MB of memory. I would appreciate if your support team could assist us with this issue and recommend a solution to reduce the memory usage so that we can go ahead with the Silverlight solution. Please let me know if you have questions regarding the issue.
Thanks,
Nirish
