When you go to Org or some heavy populater area does the hard drive churn constantly or not?
No, it doesn't. I know how the slowdowns caused by HDD activity look like, I multiboxed for some time with 4Gb RAM. After upgrading to 8Gb everything is smooth.
I'm also using windows7 and windows 2008, the system file caching algorithms there seem to be greatly improved over Vista and certainly WinXP. I almost always have ~2Gb RAM that is used as system cache, so probably it is working really good.
