Es bewahrheitet sich doch immer wieder, dass es besser ist, die Quelle aufzusuchen.
Ich sitz jetzt in der Firma und habe die Möglichkeit genutzt, in der Microsoft Techlib nachzuschlagen. Hier sind zwei Zitate aus dem Artikel "Performance and Maintainance" (ms-help://MS.TechNet.2006JUL.1033/winxppro/tnoffline/prodtechnol/winxppro/proddocs/10.htm)

Managing computer memory
When your computer is running low on RAM and more is needed immediately, Windows uses hard drive space to simulate system RAM. This is known as virtual memory, and is often called the paging file This is similar to the UNIXswapfile. The default size of the virtual memory pagefile (namedpagefile.sys) created during installation is 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your computer.
You can optimize virtual memory use by dividing the space between multiple drives and removing it from slower or heavily accessed drives. To best optimize your virtual memory space, divide it among as many physical hard drives as possible. When selecting drives, keep the following guidelines in mind:
* Try to avoid having a pagefile on the same drive as the system files.
* Avoid putting a pagefile on a fault-tolerant drive, such as a mirrored volume or a RAID-5 volume. Pagefiles don't need fault-tolerance, and some fault-tolerant systems suffer from slow data writes because they write data to multiple locations.
* Don't place multiple pagefiles on different partitions on the same physical disk drive.
You can choose to optimize your computer's memory usage. If you use your computer primarily as a workstation, rather than as a server, you can have more memory devoted to your programs. Your programs will work faster and your system cache size will be the default size that came with Windows XP. You can also specify to set aside more computer memory for a larger system cache, If your computer is used primarily as a server, or if you use programs that require a larger cache.

Zitat:
* For best performance, do not set the initial size to less than the minimum recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your system. Usually, you should leave the paging file at its recommended size, although you might increase its size if you routinely use programs that require a lot of memory.
* To delete a paging file, set both initial size and maximum size to zero, or click No paging file. Microsoft strongly recommends that you do not disable or delete the paging file.

Also zusammengefasst: beste Leistung bei 1,5 * RAM, nicht deaktivieren.
