Don't forget that some amount of page faults are normal consequences of
using a machine with virtual memory. Page faults alone are not an indicator
that you're out of memory or suffering in any way, they just mean that
something was requested in vm that wasn't actually in ram, and needed to be
loaded. Ask 'swapinfo' or 'top' to see if you might possibly benefit from
more ram by reducing paging.
