Basically the process runs at around 1% and it never seems to grow in size again. When running the C++ with python app the process slows when a new 'page' is required but then goes back to 'full' speed. It does this until basically all the virtual memory is used.
I have had memory exceptions when running the same sort of stuff on 32 bit, but never 64 bit.
