If it's really idle, I'm susprised you have a page fault delta of almost 
5000. Even with stuff running in the background (music, sidebar, etc) I'm 
getting only a small PFDelta (<200) on Vista.

Find the resource monitor that looks like this:

On Vista, there's a "resource monitor" button on the task manager 
performance page. Or type it into the control panel or start bar or 
something, to search?

It'll tell you what actual files etc are being accessed.

But, really, it doesn't look like it should be slow. As folks have said, it 
doesn't look very busy.
