Our server is running SBS 2k. It has 1GB RAM and usually shows around 25% available memory. Recently everything has slowed down and I am trying to discover what has caused it. The server has a gigabit card and the network does not appear to be the bottleneck. The multi-processor usage is well within acceptable limits (usually between 3-7%).
The only thing I'm noticing is quite a lot of pages/sec. I'm polling every second and average pages/sec can quite often reach over 100/sec on average. There are also about 100-200 page faults/sec. Is this an indication of insufficient RAM? If so, why does the amount of available RAM remain pretty constant at 25%? I dont understand why its paging when there is still RAM available. I would think that with RAM still available there would be no paging at all. Is it something to do with the working set of each process? I thought the size of the working set for each process was optimised by windows?
Can anyone explain this?
Thanks,
Jamie
