hi,
i am using a feature layer to filter out certain amount of spatial data from one of the layers on my map. the issue is that on load of map i have to show all the information. this causes a large amount of memory utilization by the browser and it hangs sometimes. the difference between the memory acquired by the browser when i add all the information on the feature layer and don't add any is around 180,000 kb.
please suggest a solution.

thanks

When you say "All information" how much data are we talking about? (record count, geometry type/complexity and attributes).
Are you using the default rendering coming from ArcGIS server or are you using some kind of custom rendering and/or symbol? Some symbols can be extremely expensive if used "wrong".

On a side note, it's worth noting that Silverlight's Garbage Collector is extremely lazy (it really only kicks in if it has to), so the amount of memory that Task Explorer is telling you that Internet Explorer is using can be very misleading.
