The configuration of virtual memory even depends on your Version of windows. i think windows xp can even manage multiple page-files.
On rule to speed up things is: if you have two drives, put them on different controllers. Put your resource-consuming application to the drive where the page file is NOT. So using the page file and reloading software components won't interfere.
It is not a good solution to turn of the virtual memory. If you run multiple applications, your system will soon need it. Btw: Windows usually writes first the data to disk, that appears to be less important( e.g. idle apps etc )

All things ram are done in 32’s, 32-64-128-256-512-1024. Try to work the page file size in the same increments. It eases the addressing load on the CPU.

I think the cpu runs in protected mode anyways. So every address is 32-Bit. There are no more "far" and "short" jumps. the cpu accesses each (even)adress at the same speed.
