This is a known fact that removing your paging file completely will actually reduce system performance. This happens on all operating systems, not just windows. You want at least a 100-500MB page file no matter what. I typically set mine to 512MB.
Not to disagree or cause an argument but my XPS laptop runs fine without a paging file Also the performance for games and applications is the same as before if not slightly better.
I'm not saying it won't run good, I'm saying it can and will eventually cause performance problems over having a small paging file. If you don't believe me go read the many articles from kernel developers and other big names in operating systems for information.
I'm basing my facts here on experience rather then internet based articles which may be biast or have other reasons for saying this would cause problems.
I think we can agree though that unless you know what you are doing don't remove your paging file but rather make it smaller.

This is why I did not provide instructions how to do it as I don't want people just trying it without first understanding the implications
