Yeah, if your virtual memory isnt static and is on a nearly full and fragmented HD it will slow down a lot because windows is changing the size of the virtual memory as needed and has to do it in whatever free space it can find.
Best results for me; I installed a 2nd drive and after formatting first thing I did was put the static sized virtual memory on it. Then use the rest of the space for archiving. The only time you will ever need to change the size of the virtual memory is if you change the amount of RAM you have. The faster the 2nd HD is the better of course.
The task scheduling thingy I thought of when I was being devious; I set a friends PC to play Pink Floyds "Time" from Dark Side of the Moon. The start of the song starts out with many alarm bells going off.. He has a 7.1 surround system in his room so....
Now if I could rememeber how I did that...
