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.

I'll have to keep a closer eye on tskman totals. It has always seemed to me like the total commit limit has been the sum of swapfile and real physical mem.

Thanks again, Spots. You've certainly done a bang-up job on these questions. I didn't realize that keeping track of mem allocation was as complex as it appears.

Regards,

Dave
