In 2012, Gartner coined the term RASP to characterize this approach, which brings the security perimeter right to the application itself. In turn, this overhead can negatively impact application performance and damage company brand. It can control application execution as well as detect and block real-time attacks.

Investigating weird Chrome performance problems is literally my job so we started chatting. In a steady-state process (not allocating excessively) on a system with sufficient memory (this system had 64 GiB of RAM and roughly 47 GiB of that was available) the number of page faults should be close to zero, and this was a long way from that.
