Ram is so cheap these days, it has all but negated the need for a pagefile. If your system is utilizing the pagefile, then you need more ram. If you cannot afford or fit any more ram, then putting the pagefile on the fastest available disk is the best option, as your massive slowdown will be not so massive.
I wouldn't recommend turning the page file off completely, as windows will freak out if it needs to use it and it's not available. Most people with SSDs tend to have a large 1TB+ storage drive, which is perfect for pagefile.
