Your sample size is small enough to make it purely anecdotal (not that you ever asserted anything else), plus I would suspect you're kinda like a bunch of us here in that you're aware and savvy enough to work through any edge cases you run into. I tested various pagefile setups for and with the top two PC OEMs for about 10 years. You wouldn't believe how many oddball edge cases we ran into when the pagefile was either missing or too small. Granted, we're talking about machines that were always running an optimal memory size (read "least amount of memory we can get away with") for the configurations (I was working with small & medium business units) whereas you and most of the rest of us these days are running WAY more RAM than just about anything we do will use.
