thanks for the clarification. However,
"anonymous mapped memory" site:microsoft.com
turns out 0 (zero) results. And even splitting it up there seems to be
nearly no information ... is the same thing by any chance also known by
different names?

So the "performance shock" with high shared memory gets obvious: memory
mapped files get swapped to disk. I assume that swapping is nearly
transparent for the application, leading to a nice trashing ...
I'll keep on searching...
