   Monitor Resource Usage: Use built-in system monitoring tools or third-party software to track CPU, memory, disk and network usage, and identify resource-intensive processes that may be slowing ...

3. System Idle Process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Idle_Process

   However, the idle process does not use up computer resources (even when stated to be running at a high percent). Its CPU time "usage" is a measure of how much CPU time is not being used by other threads. In Windows 2000 and later the threads in the System Idle Process are also used to implement CPU power saving.

4. Dynamic frequency scaling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_frequency_scaling

   The dynamic power (switching power) dissipated by a chip is C·V 2 ·A·f, where C is the capacitance being switched per clock cycle, V is voltage, A is the activity factor [1] indicating the average number of switching events per clock cycle by the transistors in the chip (as a unitless quantity) and f is the clock frequency.

5. Idle (CPU) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_(CPU)

   Many operating systems, for example Windows, [1] Linux, [2] and macOS [3] will run an idle task, which is a special task loaded by the OS scheduler on a CPU when there is nothing for the CPU to do. The idle task can be hard-coded into the scheduler, or it can be implemented as a separate task with the lowest possible priority.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrashing_(computer_science)

   In effect, physical main memory becomes a cache for virtual memory, which is in general stored on disk in memory pages. Programs are allocated a certain number of pages as needed by the operating system. Active memory pages exist in both RAM and on disk. Inactive pages are removed from the cache and written to disk when the main memory becomes ...

8. Performance Monitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_Monitor

   Physical memory is the amount of random access memory on the computer. Virtual memory consists of the space in physical memory and on disk. Many of the memory counters monitor paging, which is the movement of pages of code and data between disk and physical memory. Excessive paging, a symptom of a memory shortage, can cause delays which ...

9. Commit charge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commit_charge

   Similar displays in the Task Manager of Windows Vista and later have been changed to reflect usage of physical memory. In Task Manager's "Processes" display, each process's contribution to the "total commit charge" is shown in the "VM size" column in Windows XP and Server 2003. The same value is labeled "Commit size" in Windows Vista and later ...
