Wahh! Not so Ted, not so.

I've just recently created 3 page files on a 4 platter set up.

I won't go into the details but a single page file was returning over 55
MB and now I get increased performance with 3 page files reporting upto
(so far today alone) usage of 38 MB per page file as determined by
(Bill's?) XP Page File Monitor

Empirical observation suggests the present set up of 3 page files is the
nest config I've tried so far
