Possibly an unpopular opinion on this forum, but virtual memory has always been one of the strengths of the NT kernel. (And integration between the cache manager, virtual memory manager, file system (NTFS), overlapped I/O, completion ports, and threading. It’s a very robust and performant foundation when leveraged correctly.)

It might be now, but the default settings back in the 2000 and XP era were far from optimal.

doesn't Linux have virtual memory too? That would be retarded, though it would explain a lot.
