Task Manager, Memory, and Page Files

The computer I am workingon seems rather slow. And I can hear the hard
drive thrashing (i think), whever i am doing anything. So I decideded
to look at Windows Task manager to see if i could figure out what's
going on.
So. Here's what it shows:
Total Commit Charge (K) 268000
Total Physical Memory (K) 261424
Page File Usage: 267 MB
I thought paging could be slowing the computer down, but I'm not sure.
If the Commit Charge is ~268M and Physical Memory is ~261M, wouldn't
that imply that there is not much to be paged? Yet the page file usage
is at 267M, and my hard drive sounds like it's thrashing. Also, it's
very slow.
So: why is the page file usage so high when it seems like there is
almost enough physical memory? Could the amount of memory still be a
problem, or should i look elsewhere?
