The page file remains at 50mb (i set it to 50mb to 50mb in the performance tab, even though the 'recommended' size is 1531mb). That's not really page file "usage," but just allocation. Windows pre-allocates virtual memory in anticipation of a possible need for it, even though that allocated virtual memory may
