From TechNet: Set the Same Initial and Maximum Size

Setting the paging file's initial size and maximum size to the same value increases efficiency because the operating system does not need to expand the file during processing. Setting different values for initial and maximum size can contribute to disk fragmentation.

What is the coincidence of high paging traffic and low CPU utilization?

I'll answer this by what I'm assuming you mean. Paging files are used for two reason. 1) gain quick access to data your system most commonly needs. 2) to store instructions that are on hold (CACHE, RAM, also do this) until certain resources can be freed. By this very definition, you can formulate your answer. That being, it depends largely on the tasks your machine has on hand to accomplish. Don't get angry at my answer, it's SUCH a dynamic question. Well written code, will take this in consideration. Try to manage the size of your pagefile yourself. I'll advise you NOT to allocate too much space for a pagefile. This file becomes VERY fragmented and can burden your disk and increase response time, in effect, slowing you down. When your scaling your system, your baseline requirements should include your optimum expectations on CPU usage and paging dynamics. It all boils down to what's running on your machine. ...hutch

What instrument is used by technicians for measuring current voltage and resistance?

The instrument is called a multi-meter. Multi part meaning that the meter has distinct functions. One setting can measure voltage, another function can measure resistance and the third function can measure a limited amount of current.The reason the current is limited is because the meter has to be connected in series to the circuit that it is measuring. There will be a maximum rating on the instrument stating the maximum amount of current allowed. Many times this is a DC current and it is not to be used for measuring AC current.For higher current measurements a clamp on ammeter should be used.

What is the predominant reason for slight pauses in the application when retriving information from the paging file?

This question answers itself. It takes time to retrieve information from the paging file on the hard drive.

If your paging file is stored on hard drive, it will cause your applications to work slower if for instance it was stored in RAM.

Your commit charge on your computer task manager maximum was 2440my computer went for some repairs and when it returnedthe total commit charge was 1491 what the heck does this mean?

That depends. The "commit charge" is the maximum amount of physical and virtual memory available on your computer. Your computer will have a certain amount of physical memory (RAM) installed in it; each program that's opened uses a certain amount of memory. If your computer needs more memory it uses part of your hard disk that's called a "paging file"; it's kind of like a reserve gas tank as far as memory goes. This is also called "virtual memory". So, if you had 1 gigabyte of memory installed and your paging file size was 2 gigabytes, your total "commit charge" would be 1 gig + 2 gig for a total of 3 gigabytes, or 3000000K. So, for your numbers to go down like that, either your paging file size was reduced or the amount of physical memory in your system was reduced. You'd need to know how much memory was installed before your computer got repaired, and what the technician did when he/she repaired your computer. Did they remove any memory? Did they swap out the motherboard (the "guts" of the computer) with one that had less memory installed? OR for some reason did they just reduce the size of the paging file? Answering those questions will tell you what happened.
