CreateToolhelp3 2Snapshot Page Faults

The problem lies in the fact that whenever I call

CreateToolhelp3 2Snapshot(TH32C S_SNAPPROCESS,0 )

a page fault occurs.

The fact is I have a timer set to take a snap-shot per second and the
page faults just go on increasing. It is very well isolated that only
when calling the API the page fault occurs.

Trying to use EnumProcesses but it also causes page faults, less
though.

Anyone got any pointers there?

Related to my other post on Graphics.FillRectangle and a lot of page faults caused by this call... We determine that when Control.DoubleBuffer=true to avoid the flicker effect, Graphics.FillRectangle causes a lot of soft page faults - order of 700/sec and more... When Control.DoubleBuffer=false, we have no page faults at all - 0/sec. Has anyone seen this behavior and how did they resolve it...? What are our options...? Does...

Does anyone know what would cause excessive page faults running the js function below? The most common browser used is IE 6. The page has records that include text & checkbox inputs. Each record also has a hidden input named "questions", whose value is an id that is used in the name of inputs to be disabled. The number of page faults increases dramatically as records increase. I know it is the for loop that is taking the extra time,...
