Only really helps if you have a second hard drive. Putting the swap file
onto a different partition on the same drive can actually worsen the
machine's performance.

I thought that all this would do is create a bigger lookup table for the
file system, making relaunching an application a little quicker, because
Windows will be more likely to remember where all required files are. I've
never seen any significant performance gain as such from changing this
setting...
