Hi all,
A quick lesson in memory management :-)
Assuming you are using Performance Monitor for all this checking. In the
memory section there are several memory paging counters that can be read.
"Page Faults/sec" is the one that indicates the number of pages that are
not in the CPU's current internal working memory space as it runs its code
and so it needs to get the memory section from elsewhere. This is no
indication of actual need to "step outside" as the relevant page could well
be in the CPU cache, or similar. The "Pages/sec" counter actually gives the
number of times the CPU has to go to the virtual memory page file, ie. it
actually has to do work in getting a slab of memory.
If you have lots of free memory space, and that is real memory, not
virtual, then you can get lots of page faults but no pages at all. This is
as it should be. So flick the Perf Mon over to Pages/sec and see what you get.
