[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1627932, member: 110816"] If the machine is largely idling (95-98% indicates that) and the temps are steady at whatever is normal for your environment and the fans aren't going full bore, then that's perfectly fine.. Page Outs are directly related to the amount of memory you have. If you have say 16GB of mem and you've give your Parallels VM 6GB, then OS X has 10GB to play with. If you use memory intensive applications on the OS X side, once you exhaust available memory, OS X will start to page out unused memory blocks to the disk to make room for the new requests. When the app that had its memory paged out wants to use it again, they get paged back in from disk to memory. So the Page Outs and Page Ins indicate how much of the disk you are using. A large number of Page Outs/Ins means that you should look to upgrade your total memory.. [/QUOTE]
