Specifically, one command.

Specifically, one command.
LiveKD -o snapshot.dmp where c:\snapshot.dmp is the name of my dump file to open with a debugger.
What I'm looking for specifically is what happens to the Non-Paged Pool memory. Before I rum this command, it's at 1,420,000K with only tags attached enough to account for about 1/3rd of the size. After running it, I have a much smaller number and about 800MB of memory is freed for me to use.
What is happening to the Non-Paged Pool? Is it being flushed, or is something happening to the system that makes it think it doesn't need that big a non-paged pool size any longer? I'm going to be able to replicate that state or action somehow.
