This has happened a couple of times, maybe once a month, I would leave VS for another task and apps would start feeling sluggish. I open Task Manager to discover that Windows is starting to paging like crazy. It turns out NCrunch was trying to consume all my RAM.

NCrunch status was always spinning
Not a lot of information I know, each time I've seen this I've had to quickly kill NCrunch/VS. Anything I can do when this is happening?

Hi, thanks for sharing this.
Wow, that's a lot of memory consumption!
We don't have any leak that we know could cause this ... so we'll need to get more detailed information to figure this out. The next time this happens to you, could you do the following?
- Submit a bug report. The log file will give us some information about what the engine is doing, even if it'll only be the tail end of it.
- Check the processing queue to see what the engine is trying to do. Is there anything interesting about the tasks it's running?
- Perform an export of the timeline report using the Tests Window. If you can share this with us (send it via the contact form), we'll line it up with the bug report and try to figure this out.
