I am using Windows 7 with 4GB of memory, and am running VMWare with 2GB of memory.

Every time I shutdown the VM, for some stupid (or overly smart) reasons, there are a lot of paging going on, and I simply can't do anything useful for about 3-5 minutes. This simply does not happen on Windows XP, where the memory gets claimed almost instantaneously.

Is there anything I can do to spot the paging?
