A handle is a pointer in memory used to access files, devices, etc.

Threads deal with processes per cpu, think of it as an instance of computation per object per cpu. Multi-threading is running more than one computation series per process on a single cpu.

Processes would deal with specific code instances, usually referenced via a common dll, exe etc.

Commit charge deals with your allocated virtual memory.
Total is the current allocated virtual memory (page file)
Limit is max you can commit to the pagefile without making it bigger
Peak is the maximum utilization of your pagefile you've reached since you've logged in (on a per session/user basis)
