If you ave enought memory (eg I have 512 SDRAM) you can disable the swap file, prevent any swapping and therefore observe an increase in speed.
Thanks to mkanet for the information, here is what I did:
Go to this registry location:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
Then set "DisablePagingExecutive" to "1"
Then you need to go into the advanced settings of XP for performance, and make sure you dont have swap enabled on any of your drives.
Reboot...
Thats it.

I am using it now and Internet Explorer is loading instantly without even readding the HDD visably.
Here is a screenshot of my task manager and as you can see mym commit charge is tiny... Reduced from 200 megs before running this tweak, let me know how you guys get on...
