We are using name mapping on a 64-bit machine with 16GB of running TC 11.30. We are unable to run our entire test suite without before tcHost.exe usage grows to 1.9gb and TC locks up. If a few items are disabled the test will run all they way through. I've nearly reached the end of the road here.
Ran into a similar issue with our scripts.
I would suggest contacting support.
It's been a while since I've run into problems like this. However, IIRC, part of it has to do with how much information you're writing out to your test log. If you're calling Log.Message for every little thing or if you're not using Log.LockEvents in your code, I think that a good bit of what you might be dealing with is that TC has to store a lot of the logging information in memory. Take a look at optimizing your utilization of the logging, reduce the number of messages, and make sure that Log.LockEvents is in place to prevent too much information being written out.

I'll try locking the log to see if this fixes the problem. In all the discussions with support on this issue this was never mentioned. Makes complete sense to me. Thanks.
- Hope that it helps. I'm not sure how correct I am in this but I know that logging is a big memory hog for TC in previous versions. Let me know if this helps and, perhaps, this is a memory optimization thing that SmartBear can work on for future versions.
