We are all at the mercy of the way NT allocates memory and pages memory. Just because you have RAM showing as available does not mean that NT is not using the page file. I think NT swaps to page when memory has not been accessed in a while (I'm not an NT guru so I'm just stating how I think it works). On our primary mail server we have 160 MB free RAM but the ColdFusion service has almost 2 1/2 million page faults. The POST Server has 17729 currently.
