Spots, I have my pagefiles set as a constant number, i.e., the same minimum and maximum. I think it is better to leave them that way, so that the OS doesn't have to waste time sizing and resizing the file.

You do have to periodically reduce them to nil, so that you can defrag the space, but it's no more trouble than an extra reboot or two. ( I leave a pagefile of sufficient size in the root, so that I can do so.)

Maybe Sean or others can weigh in on whether having fixed size pagefiles make more sense.
