A virtual storage management method that can increase the overall processing speed while preventing a processor from being overloaded. A request for acquisition of a memory area in a primary storage device is received from a process executed by a processor. It is determined whether or not the process that has made the acquisition request is a utility process executable in cooperation with another process. Control is provided so as to restrict swap-out of the utility process when it is determined that the process that has made the received acquisition request is a utility process executable in cooperation with another process, and a process cooperating with the utility process executed by the processor is a preferred process of which swap-out is restricted, and a processor utilization of the preferred process is greater than a predetermined value. |
