Strictly, "paging" is the above and "swapping" is when the whole idle
process is written out to disk. But in practise the concept and effects
are much the same.

Paging is what Windows shows as Page File Usage, or PF Usage? I do look
at the Performance tab of Task Manager, but don't pretend to understand
exactly what I'm looking at. Currently, my CPU usage is hovering around
10% which is probably OK, but PF Usage is 2.42GB which is probably not
so good.

Apologies for stealing this Ubuntu thread. Just to say that I too was a
dedicated Firefox user, but have now dumped it (and Pale Moon) for
Chrome because it eventually caused this little Netbook to freeze. Not
BSOD - it just froze and nothing except the 'off' button and reboot
would work.
