• So... Idera described what I was looking at as "It is the sum of Memory\ Pages Input/sec and Memory\ Pages Output/sec. " So, I now know that PLE going up and this counter going up means that there is enough memory. It is not related to the page file. Really it is just an indication of how much data is being moved in and out of memory per second. So, it could be high if stuff is getting paged out, or high if stuff is being read in.

    Basically, I would say that they don't need more memory at this point because PLE is continually going up. The "paging" counter is pretty much unrelated to my suggestions for memory.
