Interrupt Counts/sec (INTERRUPT_COUNTS_PER_SEC) Windows:
Rate at which the processor processed interrupt requests generated by hardware devices (for example, the system clock, mouse, disk drivers, data communication line, and NIC). DPC (delay procedure call) interrupts are not included. If this field increases greatly when there is no system activity, a hardware problem (e.g., a low-speed device) probably exists.

Paging Pages/sec (PAGING_PAGES_PER_SEC) Rate at which pages were being paged in and out when a page fault occurred.
[Units: pages/second]
This is the total of the Page-In Pages/sec and Page-Out Pages/sec fields. If this value continuously exceeds 5, lack of memory might be causing a system bottleneck.		 HILO AVG double No UNIX
Pool Nonpaged KBytes (POOL_NONPAGED_KBYTES) Amount of physical memory allocated for executing system component tasks for which page-outs could not be performed.
