That is not use of the pagefile. See the section headed
"What is loaded in RAM " in the Article in the link, which
follows:
http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm

You may check on pagefile (virtual memory) usage with
Page File Monitor for XP:
http://www.dougknox.com/

Make sure you study the readme.txt file carefully to ensure
you get the utility to work as it should.
