Please correct me if iam wrong.when ever we perform PERFORMANCE Testing we load the machine to the max the memory leaksmemory leak means we have limeted resources like limited memory to use temporarilybut we shud deallocate memory so that it can be use correctlylike in load function we load the file but it will be still in memory by using load and unload we can over come this problemEx: 1) To run my application i need 250Kb memory. 2) When i run my application at that time in my system it's having only 200Kb memory? At that time our application is unable to run. 3) Ahy how the processer got ins so that it take care to allocate 50kb memory which is not in use for long time. 4) Same thing happen to the running application we can say it's Memory Leak.
