Brief Description :
The swap file is also called pagefile, swap file or swap file can fill the lack of RAM on your computer. To do this Windows performs a process known as paged virtual memory, which is to use the drive as main memory inorder to compensate for the lack of RAM. The file that is used to perform this operation is automatically created by Windows and is located on the hard disk partition where you installed the operating system under the name "pagefile.sys". This file is hidden by default and is is at the root of the disk at the following location: "C: \ pagefile.sys". Remember that part of the concept inherent in hard disk, access to data present in the paging file is much slower than the RAM (Random Access Memory).
As all data on your hard disk swap file is a tendency to fragment. The first idea that comes into our mind is to use the default Windows utility that is the "disk defragmenter . The problem is that during this operation, the swap file is excluded, which results in As time increases the time 'bout to have data in the pagefile. We must therefore go through another procedure to defragmenter or reduce the amount of fragmentation present in the paging file.
