Can anybody shed some light on this strange problem:
Leaving the PC for a few hours, coming back to it, any tasks (browsers
firefox IE etc) or anything else left running on
the taskbar, become extremely slow to respond and require several
minutes of hard-disk-light activity before the system
becomes responsive again. A test with sysinternals.com's FILEMON
reveals the slow apps are making massive accesses to
PAGEFILE.SYS however there is nothing in Taskmanager to indicate
excessive pagefile use or lack of memory. The task
list has no abnormal CPU usage or memory use or page faults.
For some abnormal reason the system has taken to apparently paging-out
massively during periods of inactivity which
results in huge delays in getting the apps going again when the user
comes back to the system the next day.
Power management settings only switch-off monitor after 20 mins and do
not hibernate or go to switch off hard disks.
