Thrashing is a condition in a virtual memory system where the computer spends more time swapping pages between main memory (RAM) and secondary storage (disk) than executing actual processes. It is primarily caused by insufficient main memory, and the most effective remedy is to increase the amount of RAM. During thrashing, CPU utilization may appear high, but actual system throughput drops dramatically.
