How about this one? http://www.osvdb.org/71013 (although I'll note that my system does not appear to be affected, so perhaps it's a local problem?)

Virtual MemoryThat's not true -- Windows will swap stuff out in order to make space for its disk cache, which it grows if you're doing a lot of IO. Some would say this is good, but I find the disk cache algorithm is actually less accurate at predicting future hits than "I loaded this program so I'm likely to use its memory again". In Linux, you can disable this behaviour with 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness'; I don't know if there's a similar control for Windows.

Standing desk vs treadmill deskI've been using a standing desk for about a year now, and I do still use it most of the time. That said, I can't say I've noticed a productivity improvement, and in fact I think I do better work on the rare occasions I'm sitting down -- standing seems to take away a small bit of my ability to concentrate that can be important for the really tricky stuff. Feeling of increased energy or well-being in the first few months? Not really. Most of all, what I noticed was a stiff upper back. Seems I had underdeveloped neck muscles. These days, that's not a problem, but it did mean the first month or so was actually quite unpleasant. I did jump straight in to full-time use, though.
