| Performance Counter | Description |
| Memory: Committed Bytes | Number of bytes of virtual (not reserved) memory that has been committed. This number doesn’t necessarily represent page file usage because it includes private committed pages in physical memory that have never been paged out. Rather, it represents the amount of page file space that would be used if the process was completely made nonresident. |
| Memory: Commit Limit | Number of bytes of virtual memory that can be committed without having to extend the paging files; if the paging files can be extended, this limit is soft. |
| Paging File: % | Usage Percentage of the paging file committed. |
| Paging File: % | Usage Peak Highest percentage of the paging file committed. |
