I'm currently running BOINC on two different PC's, both set to exclusively run work for the Conquer Cancer project.

On my first PC, (A quad 2.3 Ghz PC with 4GB of ram) the program runs without me noticing any weird issues. However, on my two year old laptop (2.0 Ghz Single core, 1 GB memory) i keep getting a massive page fault delta, along with (Logically) a massive amount of page faults.

At the moment of writing this, the laptop reports a massive 52.768 page fault delta, and a total of 729kk page faults. I might be a little rusty on memory handling, but this is defiantly something i never saw before.

In case someone wonders: The laptop has sufficient free memory to prevent this amount of paging (600MB-ish free physical). Also, the laptop is not being worked on at the time being, and no other programs except for the default Windows XP files are running in the background.

I'm not sure what to think of this. Is this just my laptop going old? Is this a client problem? Or is there any other reason this might be happening? Also, my apologies if this has been asked before, but after wading trough the first 25 pages of the forum search result without result i figured it might not have been asked before.

Thanks in advance!
