Thanks.  I think I found the potential culprits.  I have PS4.0
Enterprise, so I guess I'll give memory management a try.  Afew people
responded to my post the other day that it caused some problems and had
to turn it off.

Hi Evan,
 
Since no one else answered your question, I will try. Go get Process
Explorer (free) from Sysinternals. Configure the lower pane to show
DLLs, and to highlight relocated DLLs. Now go browse (in the upper pane)
through the frequently used applications on your server. When you select
a process in the upper pane, the DLLs loaded by that process will show
up in the lower pane. Any DLL that is highlighted in yellow (relocated)
will contribute to excessive page file usage since there is a copy of
the DLL in memory AND in the page file for each instance of the program
that calls that DLL. In other words if you have an application that has
20 DLLs in yellow and 50 users you have 1000 copies of that DLL in
memory AND in the page file.
 
If this the case for you and you are running CPS 4.0, turn on the memory
management feature that Citrix licensed from RTO. If you are not on 4.0
yet contact RTO for an evaluation of TScale.
 
Cheers,

4 gigs of RAM, 2003 SP1, PS4.0, Dual Xeon 3.6ghz processors and around
50 users logged in. 
Physical free memory is 1.9gigs, and pagefile usage is 3gigs.  Is that
normal?
