Table 19-1 Processes Tab ColumnsColumn DescriptionPage Faults The number of times that data had to be retrieved from the page file on the hard disk for this process because it had been paged out of physical memory.

When the physical memory is full, Windows swaps older information in physical mem-ory to the swap file to make room for newer information. Too many page faults often indicate that you need more physical memory.Peak Memory Usage The maximum amount of physical memory resident in a process since it started.Thread Count The number of threads running in the process.
