Improving the performance of the kernel is generally a good thing to do; that is why many of our best developers have put considerable amounts of time into optimization work. One area which has ...

Particularly I am interested is there a limit of page faults for a single process; a process like "svchost.exe" process (the one that hosts all those service whic are "running in" it), for which I ...

While the best way to avoid performance problems associated with page faults is usually to avoid faulting altogether, that is not always an option. Thus, it is important that the kernel handle page ...

Vista's "Reliability and Performance" tool has a nice Hard Faults counter. Where can I find that in the normal PerfMon counters so I can graph that with other PerfMon counters? The Memory > Pages ...
