3. At the end of the day, you use System Monitor to view the log created on Pat’scomputer. You note the following key average counter values:

❑

Memory, Pages/sec: 92

❑

Processor, %Processor Time: 35 percent

❑

Physical Disk, %Disk Time: 73 percentWhat do you suspect is causing the performance problem? How would youresolve it?These values indicate that the computer is experiencing a shortage of memory. The acceptablelevel of Pages/sec is under 20. At the current average rate of 92 Pages/sec, the operating sys-tem is spending too much time moving data in and out of physical memory and the paging file.Also, the %Disk Time statistic indicates a potential hard disk performance issue (73 percent,and the acceptable maximum value is 50 percent). The hard disk could be a problem, but it ismore likely that the increased paging is causing the hard disk to work much harder than it hasto. Increasing the amount of memory in the computer decreases the amount of pagingrequired, which in turn decreases the load on the hard disk, which will most likely cause the%Disk Time counter to drop below the acceptable threshold.Troubleshooting Lab
