Its not that clever actually. Messages about shortage of virtual
memory are quite common and are normally cured by removing that tick
and setting the virtual memory size to at least 50% above actual
memory size.
If the system is hitting the pagefile to any great extent, the best
thing to do is to add more memory, not fart about with the pagefile
settings.

One thing I noticed about windows is no matter how much memory you give
it, it still uses the ****ing swap file.

Reasonable enough. It probably preloads commonly used stuff (e.g. DLLs)
into it on startup, because it'll ultimately be quicker to load them from
there, than from the original files. Standard enough.

2Gig of RAM and no swapfile on this here netbook works fine for most
things, with FF and TB open at the same time as Libre office 3.3, except
that when you shut down, it thrashes the SSD for ages. But that's
possibly the Kasperski AV program being stupid. I may fiddle about and
try using the 32Gig SD card as a boot drive sometime.
