“moving the pagefile to a RAM disk.” is a hacky way to emulate disabling swap :P In an ideal world, swap would automagically move stuff that you are not likely use soon out of RAM even when you use poorly written programs that don’t do that explicitly. And, disk cache would automagically keep stuff in RAM that you are likely to need again soon even when using poorly written programs that don’t do that explicitly. So, ideally, they work together to max the effectiveness of you RAM.
