    Its my understanding that putting the page file on a seperate physical disk (not just a volume or partition) is done to put some of the work on a different drive, rather than making the main drive do all the regular work + page all day.

    And is successful. But being on the same disk I don't see how it would offload any of the work. Be spacing it out, you are just adding work.
    Decide what to be and go be it.

    Yeah putting it on the same physical disk, just a seperate volume or partition wouldn't do anything.

    Would it not offer a performance increase since the file fragmentation of the boot partition would be unable to impact the page file partition?
