The question for XP admins is if that task is really worthwhile; I mean, if having a computer off-line for several hours with heavy disk activity and wear, as compared to been perhaps a small percent slower in normal use.
luch worst than that. The swap file can be badly fragmented and this is very slowing the computer, and it can't be defragmented!! so one have to unset the file, restart, delete it manually , defragment and reset it...
What I have done on noew installs is specify a minimum size for the swap file (larger than it would ever grow naturally). This prevents it from becoming fragmented because it never gets appended.
(I did this one month ago... Pity I need an XP computer)
