How do you interpret POOLMON results?

[wlfpackr]

I have a suspected memory leak on a Server 2k3 Std box. I'm trying to find out where it is coming from. From everything I've researched over the internet and from others, it's a paged pool problem. So I've got POOLMON up and I'm looking at the results and it doesn't really mean squat to me. What am I supposed to be looking for?

The only real instructions I've found say that you take snapshots frequently over the course of time and compare or are complete copy & paste of the MS Article. Below is a sample snapshot of Poolmon.

What do the column headings mean exactly? What am I supposed to be comparing when I make the next snapshot?

Hello

Have you tried memsnap tool?
I think it is more easier to read its output:
