well to put it simply Vista uses the swapfile as virtual memory (RAM) so when your system runs out of RAM it uses the some HDD space as virtual memory, and obviously HDDs are slower than actual RAM, so using HDD space as virtual memory is much much slower

12288MB in both initial & maximum, then the swapfile (showing my age. because generally today its called a pagefile) size can't change, to keep Vista from continually resizing the swapfile & keep file fragmentation to a minimum
