igfxpers.exe is a process installed alongside NVidia graphics cards and provides additional configuration options for these devices. This program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.
   

On UMPCs this process is essential if you run the display in a scaled resolution, i.e. any other resolution than the native screen resolution (which is 800x480 for all the 2006 era UMPCs with 7-inch touch screen displays). When you shut down/standby/hibernate the UMPC, this process will return the display resolution to 800x480 so that when it restarts the display will be synchronized with the touch screen resolution. If you disable this process, then the screen will not be dropped to the native resolution and when you restart, your touch screen and display will be scaled differently.

It's fine under C:\Windows\Drivers\Intel 915G Graphics (or similar). If it starts showing up in multiple instances under System32 or System 32 subfolders it's Malware. Shoot it.

Has to do with Intel Graphic Chipsets. Often installed together with igfxtray.exe which gives quick access to the Intel graphics driver options

This file is associated with the common user interfacefor Intel graphics cards. It is a legitimate program, but it isn't required. I disabled it and did not see any reverse consequences.

Not a lot, Intel derived, has to do with video driver; really annoying, takes a good % of system resources when it is running--bogs down response speed.
