Decreased RAM performance in Image Editing Test

Hi Forum

A few weeks ago I bench marked my system and got some good results today I ran another benchmark and my image editing performance has dipped significantly since then.

I am not sure the exact cause of this but I have changed some of the virtual memory options in windows and am thinking that is the likely cause, however would such changes result in this much of a performance decrease?

Update:
In trying to minimize my system error dump files I change the page file settings to let windows optimize for you. This resulted in a larger page file size decreasing performance. I dropped the size down to the recommended but performance is still not quite up to where I would expect it to be. Might reduce lower to improve performance but maintain stability. #Windows user problems
