[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 909045, member: 51905"] I don't really think windows is as smart as people assume it to be. I prefer to control stuffs myself and most of the time, it performs far better than the default settings Superfetch and prefetcher are the first things I disable on a brand new machine. This speeds up the machine by a margin of day and night I have been using my laptop without them for 6 years without any single issue about page file, it's different because this can cause stability issue. It only works when there is not enough RAM or there is a task which requires a lot of RAM. Some apps uses pagefile to hide its real memory usage while there is plenty of free ram left => the more pagefile used, the faster SSD degradation or the slower the machine if on HDD 99.9% of the time, my RAM usage is <50% so I can happily disable pagefile to force all memory blocks to be written on RAM => faster I tweaked my laptop to use only 0.7-0.8 GB of RAM on boot (total 8GB) so I have a lot of free RAM to use (some people have windows uses 2-3GB on boot) I don't suggest everyone to do this. I do because I know what I'm doing [/QUOTE]
