The extra ~8 byte field (per object) was probably already wasted (padding to achieve 16-byte alignment) and will probably save you from consuming more in stack space for recursion.

My previous comment (the part you deleted) covered concurrency.

Separate fields are separate (it's not a correctness issue); but yes, if fields share a cache line there may be some performance loss caused by the cache line bouncing between CPUs wanting exclusive access.

That looks like a system service (StorageUsage.dll) leaking memory and causing its own OOM; not a normal process causing problems for a "not buggy" system service.

Fine.

The right way to think about the way memory management works in Windows (unless swap is disabled by an idiot) is to think of physical memory as nothing more than a cache of the page file; where "max. virtual memory size = page file size". Physical memory size and physical memory availability are irrelevant - they have no effect on OOM whatsoever.

For Linux; it's mostly the opposite - e.g. "max. virtual memory = physical + swap". This difference between Windows and Linux is causing your delusions about the importance of physical memory availability on Windows.

When user-space applications get OOM in response to allocation failures (and either handle them or crash, depending on how good/bad they are and what the developer felt like doing) Windows is correctly doing the right thing (ensuring it can meet its promises by ensuring memory it committed to providing can be provided, while "accidentally" avoiding the insanity of "OOM killer + broken work-arounds to hide symptoms" that are the consequences of a kernel's failure to meet its promises). This may happen when the irrelevant amount of free physical memory is irrelevant, but that is not important because user-space software is only supposed to care about virtual memory (swap space) while the kernel takes care of "deliberately abstracted" lower level details (whatever kernel felt like caching in physical memory, which may even include things like data from pre-fetched files that haven't been requested (yet) and aren't part of any process' virtual memory).
