Orion 8.5.1 upgrade major issue

After upgrading to this version I have had many complaints from the user community that it is slow. Aslo There seem to be a service host.dll that Orion uses that is taking all the cpu cycles and memory. The only way to clear this issue is reboot the server. After a few days the problem returns. Is anyone elso out there having the same issue.

Configuration

2 systems Quad 2.5 Gig Processor's 4 Gig Ram and 500 gig local drive storage with links to SAN storage.

Shared SQL server.

Server 1 modules > Main Orion / Neflow / Cirrus Dl100 / Web site / syslog

Server 2 modules > Orion Poller

Jim,

Have you opened a Support ticket? If you think you're having a memory leak, we'd like to get diagnostics from you.

Denny, I sent the requested Diag file for my case back just a few minutes ago.

UPDATE:

Below are the steps used to help jflewis1021.

Assuming that this is not the custom poller memory leak issue, the following steps will help recycle
the pooling in the com+apps -

1.
Open Component Services from Start-> Control Panel-> Administrative
Tools-> Component Services.

2.
Expand the Component Services, Computers, My Computer, and Com+Applications.

3.
Right click on SolarWinds Orion NPM and select Properties.

4.
Select the "Pooling and Recycling" tab.

5.
Change the Pool Size to 5, LifeTime Limit to 5 minutes, and the Expiration
Timeout to 15 minutes.

6.
Click "Apply" to set the changes and "OK" to exit the properties
window.

7
Restart IIS

Thanks Mark,

We also have memory growth issue on dllhost (dllhost grows to >400meg in 4 days on our additional web server). I haven't logged an issue, but will apply this suggestion and let you know the result next week.
