Darn - that's why I can't get it to work on XP/Home
I realize now that the money I saved was worth it...

I would check on how much the pagefile is being used.

Task Manager does not record Page File Usage. It record allocations of
the
page file which may or may not be used.
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.

This utility demonstrates the overall amount of the pagefile
in use. It does not say which application is using it.

Greetings

I have an application (an VAX emulator) that opens two Gbyte sized
files. The first time that I run this program in a windows (XP/HOME
SP2 - same thing happens on an XP/Prof SP2 on a laptop and another
desktop (every system I've tried it on) also all are NTFS)

Task Manager shows a lot of paging activity for the process and lots of
IO. The amount of virtual memory allocated stays the same, the amount
of physical memory in use stays more or less the same, but the page
fault and write IO start climbing - until the IO bytes written looks
suspicially like the total size of the two files being opened. Read IO
is a tiny fraction (in terms of IOs and bytes) of the write IO.

If I shut the process down and restart it - it doesn't happen.

If I were a guessing kind of person, I would guess that WXP is creating
an area in the paging file to hold these files

Any thoughts on how I can stop this from happening - you wouldn't
believe how long it takes on the laptop.
