Sometimes it's called swap file like for Linus Sytems. You need a page file to save data when you are using your operation system. If don't have enough RAM OS doesn't have enough space in your memory to work properly. So, in such case OS uses a paging file. When you have 512 Mb or more in Windows Xp you can disable Paging file, which will accelerate your system at least a little bit.
