I can provide you with few information that you should consider when
comparing XPe and XP.
If you use XPe without page file then you must do the same with Windows XP,
so you can have same results.
There are API functions that will behave differently when pagefile is
disabled.
For instance if you only reserve some memory let us say 80 MB if you have
page file mem will be reserved in page file not from RAM.
But if page file is disabled then all memory will be allocated and committed
from physical RAM.
Long time ago this derived me crazy I'm using many DMO codec's for video
compression and decompression, and I can't influence their mem allocation.
When PF is enabled my app for compression consumes less than 20 MB of ram
and around 200 MB from PF is reserved, but if PF is not there then all this
memory is allocated from RAM (very frustrating but that is how OS must
work). I solved my problems by using only codecs than are needed at same
time, but...
Conclusion:
1. Make same environment in XP like in XPe (disable page file)
2. If you write applications, write them for XPe, that way they will work on
XP.
This maybe can help you.
