You are right, W10 does do best with auto arranging RAM to what's needed for. Anything in RAM will react faster than if it had to do it from disks, even fastest SSDs. Wish I had enough RAM to keep everything in it. With 16GB of RAM I never found it short for anything. Unless really short on RAM page file will not present any slowdowns, it's tied up with DMA so it has own pipeline to RAM without bothering CPU. But if system has to page to disk a lot, that can tie up some CPU resources and in some cases noticeable slowdowns. For best performance, 1GB of RAM per core should be a minimum and 2GB per core some optimum unless there's some program(s) that can tie up a lot of RAM.
