I think perhaps a refresher is warranted here, since you're forgetting one basic fact, which is even mentioned in the article listed.
"Virtual Memory is always in use, even when the memory required by all running processes does not exceed the amount of RAM installed on the system." You should always have a pagefile, and it should be larger than your installed RAM, even if you have tons of RAM and your memory usage never nears your RAM limit. The people that wrote the memory manager in the OS are telling you this, and you're thinking they don't know what they're talking about? Besides, with HD space being well under $1/GB there's no legitimate reason to complain about the "wasted" HD space for a pagefile.
