By adding more RAM or at least eliminate the possiblity it is a lack of RAM.

Does the machine have enough RAM for what's running on it? If not sure, open

Task Manager, Performance tab. Look at the PF Usage (in green). Compare

that number to the Physical Memory (K) - (top right box below the graph). If

the PF Usage is higher, then you know it's short on RAM and will be causing

excessive paging and more than likely will cause a disk bottleneck. In such

case, purchase additional RAM, then re-run your test.
