Hi Sinardy,

A page fault is when the operating system looks for data in memory and can't find it. The operating system then fetches the data into memory so the next time it is needed, it will be in memory.

A certain number of page faults is normal, for instance when an app starts. As it runs longer, the number of page faults shouldn't be increasing substantially.
