A lot of theory in there, none of which I have seen true in practice and I have several machines all with very different purposes

But...Lifehacker is a site for quick hacks that "worked for me!".... at the end they guy claims to have a 6GB machine and his programs open quickly. Cool story bro! Grandma likes her programs to open quickly. I like mine to have performance once they're open.

Be that as it may, I would recommend the detailed article on the paging file to know more about it. But, in my experience Windows has not been keen on deciding when and when not to use it, so I've kept it disabled.
