Explanation:
Industry Standard Architecture – Student Guide 2 – Page 245
Pages/Sec – Displays the number of pages read from or written to disk to resolve hard page faults.
Hard page faults occur when a process requires code or data that is not in its working set or
elsewhere in physical memory, and must be retrieved from disk.
On most servers, if this value is consistently greater than 5, it indicates an excessive amount of
paging. Try to identify the application that is creating the paging condition. If this is not normal
behavior for the application, adding memory might increase system performance.
