Eclipse Performance - JVM Setttings and Turning Paging Off in Windows

What are your settings in your eclipse.ini and have you ever thought of turning paging off in windows to make your ide performance improve?

First of all Im running Windows XP SP2 on Dell Latitude D820 which has 4GB of Ram and Dual Core 1.66Mghz Processor.

My eclipse .ini settings are:

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-framework
plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.2.R34x_v20080826-1230.jar
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms128m
-Xmx768m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-XX:-UseParallelGC
-XX:+AggressiveOpts
-XX:-UseConcMarkSweepGC

Also recently I read these posts and turned off paging in windows and my ide performance has improved and I have had no wierd other problems with out of memory errors or anything like that.
