Running IFW on Windows 7 Pro backup machine with i5 CPU, 4GB RAM and an Intel 10gb card. Backing up the content of a VMDK file on a network share to a local disk. Extremely sluggish behavior was traced to high Hard Faults/sec (paging?) in Resource Manager. Upgraded to 8GB RAM and performance was only marginally improved. Tried every IFW switch I could find that looked like it might be related to cache/memory/performance, but no dice.
Watching the performance monitor, Used Physical Memory (USP) climbs to ~95% and the machine starts throwing Hard Faults (HF). After a few minutes USP slowly drops back to ~85%, then climbs back to ~95% and starts throwing more HFs. After a few more minutes it starts moving back down and starts the cycle all over again.
Any idea what is going on?

Re: IFW and Hard Faults
Move the file local and see if it's good there, if so, it's with the network
usage. There may be some cache or other settings that would help, but I'd
have to look them up.
