The difference between Start and End (323.584) remains out of 40 runs 30 times the same, equals once, and for the rest it differs just slightly +/-
What can we make of this?

CoolBlue, I enjoy playing with your tool
Well... it's a cool tool!
but not cool enough...

To be honest, its not really any different from if the throw error switch is false. This is because the error is "handled".
The only difference is that it skips the search and the dump to the sheet and a few reports along the way.
I wasn't really happy with that part of the model so I fixed it...

I've attached a new version that throws an error that is not handled. You can crash out by selecting END in the Error Dialog and then just click anywhere other than the active cell to trigger logging the post-exception memory state. I had to fumble around a bit to get it working coz it needs user intervention to complete the process, but it gives a true windows view of the memory after crashing out of VBA.

I hear you about the memory requirements of XL 2013, it is much hungrier that XL 2010. I checked as well...
All I can say is you don't get to be that pretty without working at it!
Pity about the bugs though...

I've attached a pic showing performance graphs from process explorer of the dictionary spreadsheet in XL 2010. I inflated the memory requirements for the Dictionary to highlight whats going on. I did this by using long strings (instead of "") for the Keys. I just kept running the process over and over to see what happens. Its pretty clear that the memory is being released according to process explorer.
