performance - Windows 7 slows down badly after staying for night




I don't switch off the computer at work when I go home.


I run Firefox, some IDE's and Skype. These programs are most memory consumable and have many threads running inside.


When I come back to work in the mornings, log in - my computer responds soooo slowly. It tries very hard to restore minimized windows, switch tabs an so on.


I have notices hard drive indicator flashing constantly during that period.


In Resource Monitor I can observe read and write to pagefile.sys at 1Mb\s by the system.
I have tried to switch off swap file, but still, having 4Gb RAM (on 32-bit machine though), it soon crashes my system due to lack of memory.


While, having the computer going hibernate doesn't cause that performance drop.


Is there a way to do have Windows running on relevant speed and having it switched on?
