<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have noticed for a while now that startingup SIM-H - VAX results in a great deal pagefile io on the real machine (XP-Home & Pro, 1GB real). This always happens just after the "Write bitmap has successfully completed…" message, and sometimes on shutdown - just before the halt message.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The vax is configurred for 128 mb & task manager shows the VM size @ 139M. It wasn't an issue on the home machine - it didn't take all that long to do, but on the laptop it took a long time. Task manager showed almost 400K of page faults - and there was continous real disk activity for a long time…</FONT></P>
