Comprehensive Guide to the Windows Paging File 495
busfahrer writes "Adrian's Rojak Pot has a nice article about the internals of the Windows paging file. It explains what a paging file is and lists the differences between a swapfile and a paging file. But first and foremost, a large part of the article deals with the various methods of optimizing the Windows paging file, thus yielding a notable performance gain for people who are not overly blessed with RAM."

Here's a hint. You can tell Apache to deny access to slashdot.org referrers. That won't prevent people from entering the URL manually, though. Oh, did I say that?
