Windoze performance tip

At Tuesday night’s AJUG on Java performance tuning, Kirk Pepperdine was discussing the evils of swap in a RAM-plentiful age and offered this interesting freebie: set your paging file size to ZERO (assuming you do actually have enough RAM to keep everything in memory). Besides the ~10% boost you get from not paging memory to/from disk, it saves battery life on laptops by not spinning the disk as much.
