Why do you think that it would improve performance? Sorry, but that's 
complete rubbish... The guest RAM is allocated using standard virtual 
memory functions and as long as you have enough memory the system will 
probably leave it in the physical RAM anyway... If you don't, it's 
swapped out to page file. This is much more versatile solution since you 
don't have to reserve a chunk of the RAM for a disk and _permanently_ 
waste your memory resources this way...

Correct.
