Abnormally large page file
I just noticed this recently, after I had to reinstall Windows xp home. When I start a game everything runs fine until I load a map, then the performance slowly gets worse and worse. My cpu is dedicating all the cycles to swapping stuff to the page file I suppose. I monitored task manager while the game was running in the background, and the page file just gets bigger and bigger until the game crashes. The game ran quite nicely, until I recently when I reinstalled Windows. Windows is up to date, with SP3 and everything.
I took a few screenshots, the first one is while the game is still going, and I think it just crashed. The second being after the game closed and the page file returns to normal. You can see the definite decline on the page file history.
