Re: Paging in Windows CE

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The meaning for this mystery is just a memory saving
feature that allows the kernel to release unused
pieces of code when executing a binary from that
particular storage. This however slows down
the execution and is not safe when used with
removable media.

I'm trying to understand what "Paging" means under
Windows CE.

It seems to be different from Windows XPs pagefile?

I havent seen good explanations on MSDN, the registry
setting "Paging" for storage manger is explained "Set to 0
to disable paging. Set to 1 to enable paging. One is the
default", which isn't too helpful.

Can anyone please point me to a better summary, or
maybe outline the "big picture" of what Paging means
in WinCE, and maybe compare it to how a pagefile
works for WinXP? Why would or wouldn't I use
paging in a system? What does a normal PDA
based on Windows CE use? I have no real-time
requests.

It would be very helpful, so thank you!
