Hi

I have a DLLHOST.dll process with a high memory utilization ( about 300Mb ) on a 4Gb maching. I am getting 500 page faults/s which is very concerning. I do not have the option of more memory

1) Can I get better performance by altering the amount of disk buffers that I am using? How do I do this
2) Can I get better performance by increasing / decreasing the file paging size ( not the size of the page file itself ), but the size of the data that is paged across from the page file
3) Are there other avenues of investigation worth looking at

Thanks

Ben
 
Hi Ben

what libraries are loaded by dllhost?

btw, if they get loaded by the web server you may want to run some processes
in-process rather than out of process.
