Rebase

Feb 6 2006, 16:39

All of the components DLLs have a base address of 0x10000000 in their disk image file. Therefore, when they are loaded (and apparently they all are loaded at startup), they have to be relocated; patched in memory. While this is fast, the problem is that the pages are marked dirty and are no longer mapped from the disk images (DLL files). On memory pressure (or working set trimming), they'll have to be paged back to disk (to a swapfile).

It's better if they are relocated to some non-overlapping addresses. For example, see:

ReBase.exe from Microsoft SDK tools can automatically rebase all installed components for your system.

For example, after:
rebase.exe -i 0x10020000 *.dll
in my components directory:
