When I look at Windows Task Manager | Performance | PF Usage, I get a
consistant half-gig (545 mb at the moment).

Yet Physical Memory (K) says I've got (at the moment) 143,742k
available.

Two questions:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Do the PF/Physical reflect an opportunity for more optimization?
i.e. If I've got physical memory available, wouldn't it be better
tb using
that instead of the page file?

2) Is PF usage unconditionally an undesireable thing?
i.e. If I add enough memory and tweak the right
settings, could I get it down to or close to zero?
