    Uploading large media files causes IIS express worker process to use excessive amounts of memory

    I am having a problem with Umbraco 7.2.4 where uploading large media files causes the amount of memory the IIS worker process is using to skyrocket.

    When uploading a movie file of ~300MB, the following happens:

    The file gets uploaded to the /media directory just fine. But somewhere between the Media.Saving and the Media.Saved steps, the amount of memory being used by the worker process begins increasing.

    Using 32 bit IIS express, the process caps out at around 750MB, a System.OutOfMemoryException is thrown somewhere and the Umbraco page shows "Internal Server Error". No media node is created, and the file cannot be accessed from Umbraco backend.

    The upload "works" if using 64 bit, but the process ends up using around 2GB ram.

    Has anyone else experienced something like this?
