Comment (by kvdman):

 Interesting. Using 7-Zip file manager on WinXP to compress a 450mb file,
 it tells you it'll will require 708mb of RAM (has a neat GUI).

 I set the VM to have 512mb of RAM with no paging file.

 During the compression process, a Windows System message pops up notifying
 me that the 'Windows Virtual Memory' is too low. Windows automatically
 increased the size of the virtual memory paging file during the process,
 and the process completed without error.

 It's neat that WinXP can compensate (system wide) for situations when
 there isn't enough physical RAM available... I guess it shows a limitation
 and perhaps improvement that could be applied for Haiku's Memory manager?

 So in the end, I guess the ticket is invalid.
