If there are too many page faults what is the problem?
Answer Posted / vardhan
If there are toomany page faults occuring then that leads
to "Page Thrashing".
The problem of many page faults occurring in a short time,
called “page thrashing,” can drastically cut the
performance of a system. Programs that frequently access
many widely separated locations in memory are more likely
to cause page thrashing on a system.
