Favorite tools for monitoring cache for windows?

Question

Hi, I am trying to profile my application but apparently it is too large for the profiler to even process. I am using IBM Quantify and suspect the same problem will show up if I try to use a different profiling tool.

So I'm looking for a program that will monitor cache and i/o activity and performance that will run in the background and won't have to attach to a certain application.

Also, I am aware of a memclear.exe for XP but it requires some development pack? Does anyone know how to get this to work or does anyone know of an equivalent application that works as a stand alone?

Thanks in advance, Jbu

edit: using windows XP

You can try using perfmon. If the existing counters don't meet your needs then you can add your own counters.
