Poor performance using Hyper-V over SMB 3 to SOFS that front-ends SAN

here we're trying set up.  have new cisco ucs b200/b230 blades, blade centers, fi's.  have a pair of server 2012 scale-out fileservers on 2 of blades luns attached from our san uses hitachi ams 2500.  trying setup server 2012 hyper-v hosts, managed through vmm, use storage on scale-out fileservers on smb 3.  reason, terrible performance configuration.  example, deploying vm 50gb template takes 35 minutes going through sofs , shows throughput of around 250 mbps.  have tried following narrow down cause: 1.  took sofs out of equation , went directly san storage, , same deployment takes 8 min throughput of around 1.2 gbps. 2.  setup sofs on different hardware (ibm pizza box servers) direct attached storage, , able performance comparable saw going straight our san. we've had cisco engineers on our configuration , don't see problems.  we've had 1 person microsoft should getting better performance front-ending our san sofs are, ,...

Should the pagefile be used even if I have sufficient physical memory?

or perhaps better question: is there reliable application-agnostic method of determining when detrimental memory paging occuring? so far using perfmon counter "% usage" under "paging file" performance object.  notice % usage high, though memory:"commited bytes" under physical ram amount. memory:"page reads/sec" appear healthy.  i'll see spike when application opened settle down zero. this not single fluke case, notice on variety of our servers.  wondering if normal or if memory upgrades in order. thanks, jaime the pagefile used when free ram available design. processes less activity paged away make room other memory claims. consider windows first using ram. in case ram full , new application started, windows should identify processes can paged away, read them ram, write them disk, read teh new program disk , load in freed ram. consumes lot of time disk read/write slow operation, , while user waiting program start. ...
