Pfmon.exe: Page Fault Monitor


This tool enables you to monitor the page faults that occur as you run an application. Page Fault Monitor produces a running list of hard and soft page faults generated by each function call by the application.

The best indicator of a memory bottleneck is a sustained high rate of hard page faults; over five per second.

You can use this tool to trace the source and number of page faults in a process. Page Fault Monitor can display the data, write it to a log file, or both.

You must run Page Fault Monitor from the command prompt.
