Possibly yes. The thing is the page file is often stored on the same drive as the Operating System. Keeping the pagefile on the conventional drive will result in reduced performance compared to the SSD. I believe Bert was trying to explain to DrAC while his server sped up after a restart. They explained that it saves of GBs of pages as time goes on. That stuff that's not accessed so frequently is moved off into the page file. Hence, when someone queries it, it has to go to the page file instead of the memory. As it fills up, performance goes down. So while your database may be on an SSD. The page file is not. In the grand scheme of things, a little extra for a larger SSD isn't a big deal. I mean people often spend big bucks on the fast processor and tons of RAM, then skimp on the drives. Let's not forget that everything is replaceable including the processor, RAM, motherboard, etc. Your data is not.
