AWSTIME is a system parameter that specifies the minimum amount of processor time that must elapse for the system to collect a significant sample of a working set's page fault rate. The time is expressed in units of 10 milliseconds. The default value of 5, for example, is 50 milliseconds.
Some application configurations that have a large number of memory-intensive processes may benefit if the value is reduced. The value can be as low as 4.
AWSTIME expiration is checked only at quantum end. Reducing its value and not reducing QUANTUM effectively sets the value of AWSTIME equal to the value of QUANTUM.
