If your looking in TaskManager, then your looking in the wrong place to see how much memory your app is actually using. What your seeing in the memory RESERVED for the .NET runtime, or virtual machine, that your app is running inside of. This, by no means, is an indicator of your app keeping a stranglehold on that memory. The .NET Memory Manager will release any memory back to the system that Windows needs for other things.

And, no, changing the process priority will have no effect at all on that processes memory consumption.

Basically, there's nothing to do to get the memory footprint down. Just let the Memory Manager do it's job.

Now, that, of course, assumes that your code is written properly. If your allocating huge numbers of objects or keeping large numbers of records in datasets, unnecessarily, then you need to rewrite parts of your app to reduce it's memory consumption. But only you will know if that's even possible.
