"First, we need to dispel anything you've heard about fragmentation on the Pagefile.
To make a long explanation as short as possible, it does not happen, and fragmentation of the Pagefile is not an issue, even when expansion is enabled...disregard any advice that might recommend a static Pagefile...it is a counterproductive idea in XP...what is a good idea though is to defrag the pagefile with the free pagefile defrag program posted on the free programs thread."

I'm confused. If Pagefile deframentation "does not happen, and fragmentation of the Pagefile is not an issue", why is it "a good idea though is to defrag the pagefile"?
