Hi Keith,

Please see Virtual Memory management in the 3DS Installation Guide on pg. 112.

Hi Kieth
If you get lots of page faults it can help to run under OS/2…
(Assuming you have access to it) ….

A page fault ???? A PAGE FAULT ???
You're getting page faults ??? Did you do something to upset the teacher ???
Actually they're nothing to worry about, other than the fact that they're
happening. A page fault occurs when the program tries to access something in
memory, and it ain't there. So the Phar Lap DOS extender has to search the
virtual memory, find the page with the information and swap that page back into
memory. Of course it has to swap something else out to do this.
If you're getting tens of thousands, it's probably an indicator that you can
use more RAM in the machine for the work you're doing. But a coupla thousand
ain't nothing to really worry about.
Thanks for the info.
