What are you talking about, Windows XP was notorious for that problem. They have seemed to solve it with Vista/7, though.
they don't. i have it every day on my win 7 work laptop.
Can you please point me how do you "tweak" this out, if ,say, you compile kernel on your own?
Yeah, it's probably just that my win 7 machine has a lot more memory than my old xp machine had. I don't think it's trashing the page file anymore.
