title: What causes page fault and how to minimize them?
body: <p>When examining a process in <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Process Explorer</a>, what does it mean when there are several page faults?  The application is processing quite a bit of data and the UI is not very responsive.  Are there optimizations to the code that could reduce or eliminate page faults?  Would increasing the physical RAM of the system make a difference?</p>
