Hello John, Glad that I am not the only one that thinks it is data intensive. What about turning it off completely? In my case, I have so much spare ram I could increase performance by simply turning off paging. Is there a downside when I have 9 GB's ram free? Is it silly to be using a page file when the ram is free. Or maybe windows is clever enough to not use the page file at all if the is empty ram ?
