I was wondering why there were so many Page Faults in minirosetta 1.47 process? Is that a bad thing?

To clarify, the task has been running for total of 14 cpu hours and has accumulated 59,000,000 page faults.

At the same time a climate prediction work unit with a 13 cpu hour time has accumulated only 18,400. Why is the re such a huge difference?

It means faster memory or more memory might help, although when checking your pc's you seem to have plenty in each of them. It could also be your cpu causing the problems. What else is running when this is happening? If you are running several things at once, the system will never find what it is looking for in memory and have a "page fault".
