I have a separate d: partition just for this file and I also set it to the same max/min size. This way, the pagefile never fragments.
Have been doing that since the days of Windows XP and the file systems were FAT32. Not sure if it makes a difference with Win7 on NTFS anymore, but I still do it, mostly just out of habit.

Isn't paging what happens when you run out of RAM? When this happens to me on Linux the computer becomes terribly slow and I have a hard time even closing down the programs to free up some memory. I wouldn't dream of doing anything productive in that state. I just try to avoid it. Are you saying Windows is actually usable when this happens?
Update: I just realized that most of the time when this happens to me is when I have accidentally written a program that allocates memory in an infinite loop without freeing it. Maybe the performance isn't so bad under normal circumstances when memory is allocated in a slower pace and you just go a little above the limit.
