Memory usage

Why the memory usage in task manager shows significant difference before and
after the restart of SQL Server service ? Is that due to the memory leak ?
I am running SQL Server 2000 sp3a
Thanks very much,
natasaNatasa,
If SQL Server's memory is set to be dynamic (default), it will grow to the
min boundary then up-to the max boundary (if needed) then fluctuate in
between.

amount for SQLServr.exe - around 100mb. In this scenario Perfmon/SQL Server
Memory Manager/Total Server Memory is the correct thing to look at
