erpdude8 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Mine is of fixed size (500MB) with 1.75GB of RAM (WinME) so it never shrink or grows.The advantage of using a swap file of fixed size, especially if it is located on the system drive is that it avoids it becoming (heavily) fragmented when it grows and affect performance.I never found that ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 was a good setting for optimal performance btw.and I totally agree on using a "fixed" size swap file to minimize performance loss, though I'd set it to the amount of physical RAM installed (1.7Gb) if you run very large programs. just be sure you have a large enough hard drive to hold the fixed size page file.If you already have a superfast PC, eidenk, then ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 is not really needed, especially if you use a superfast hard drive with very high RPM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 You could also consider running filemon while you see the file growing to determine who's writing to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
