Speed up your Swap File.

The Windows swap file is hard disk space that is used when Windows runs out of memory. This Virtual Memory being used by Windows can slow the system. A solution that may work for you is to move the swap file to a different drive and/or faster drive.

Double-click the System icon in Control Panel. Click on the Performance tab and then click on the Virtual Memory button. Select "Let me specify my own virtual memory settings". Choose the fastest drive or partition you have got, if you just have two drives choose the one that Windows is NOT installed on. It can also help speed things up to set your own Virtual Memory Swap file settings. Aim for approximately two and a half times the real memory you have available.
