Fantastic - so windows can now see into the future and knows which pages it
will never need, so swaps them out to the page file. So your copy of windows
can see into the future!!!! Can it predict the lottery numbers as well?
Perhaps a weather forcast?

Here's a crazy idea - if you have had your copy of windows modified with a
complex algorithm capable of predicting which pages it can swap out of its
2GB of RAM into its swap file, then how about this - just don't load those
pages in the first place?!?
