I think he has seen that fbserver is using some virtual memory in
task manager, and that concerns him because he has more than enough
RAM to not actually need anything paged to virtual memory.

Virtual memory is not something an application directly manages in
Windows (although it certainly can influence what windows allocates).
There are a couple of third party applications which allow you to set
better thresholds for different subsystems within Windows. I have
used cacheman in the past on a low memory system that kept on running
out of memory then you had to wait forever until it freed some up.
But I used settings the other way to encourage more agressive virtual
memory management.
