Re: Where is all that CPU going?

OK, something is going on with jobs in System pool 6. 1343 pages in non-database and 1596 pages in database seems too high to me. Pool 2 is a bit high as well. It would appear that this box is memory constrained and there is a great deal of CPU being used to manage memory (paging and faulting) Faulting is not out of whack but paging is. Your observation is 2 hours old. Try F10 to reset and get a look at the system with about 6 - 10 minutes. That will give you a much better look at what's up.

Can somebody explain what the paging and page-fault numbers are? I understand conceptually what a page fault is, and so that part at least seems to make sense to me, but I don't get the "page" column.

By way of comparison, our production and main development boxes show page and page-fault numbers so low, most of them register as zero.
