I have to compete here....

VM is said to have been offered by Apple to make up for not having 
enough RAM and everyone knows that most appls shipped with barely 
enough RAM assigned to run, X was creaker than an old guy in a rocking 
chair...

By upping the RAM assignment in the Get Info dialog, applications begin 
to run smoother and faster and more likely to not crash, assuming you 
have enough RAM. You can then turn off the VM and have a faster Mac.

Some applications almost require that you turn off VM, Filemaker Server 
is one and I think a few Adobe applications are on the list.

The default settings almost always work, when a Mac isn't crashing, but 
to say that such poor performance is best is , in my excellent opinion, 
questionable...  :)

However, I am an American and absolutely respect other people's 
opinions...even when they are wrong...  :)
