I think the handles are created when the web service is accessed but that would mean the IIS worker processes would have responsibility and they don't seem to. Recycling the worker processes in IIS does nothing. And the worker processes have their own process w3wp.exe which never accumulate handles. It's probably not a postgresql thing or other people would be seeing it.

Use "process explorer" from sysinternals / microsoft (google for it)
to see what these handles are for (pipes, files, events, mutants,
desktops, winstations (ok, probably not those), etc...
