Yes, it is a memory leak and l have tried to use the .net profiler but l am unable to decode properly what it is telling me.
However, l did use it to reduce the footprint of the String Class as my application is String Object intensive. I am looking at implementing the index application as a WCF project, because I am having to load the index every time a search operation is called. I think been able to load it once and then reload it only when an update has occurred will be best, but 2.5GB (and growing) in the cache is pretty big.

The fact the GC isn't collecting it means there are references to it somewhere. A profiling tool could help you isolate precisely which objects are hanging around. I'm not familiar enough to LDN to guess whether there could be a problem there.
