How to reduce memory consumption in MingW based GUI Application

Question

I just noticed the memory usage ( using task manager) by the simple GUI application ( with single main window ) is around 3 MB .

I used Dev-c++ and Mingw as compiler

Is there anyway to reduce this ?

Answer 1

Adding this method in Main method yields a better result in task manager :)

SetProcessWorkingSetSize(GetCurrentProcess(), (SIZE_T) -1, (SIZE_T) -1);
