Read the installation instructions... Example: 3DSmax 5.0 recommends 8X RAM for virtual memory... I've never had a problem with things running slower as RAM is always preferred over VM. Moreover, some apps may not handle it well when Windows "automatically" adjusts VM.

In addition, variable VM can fragment badly as your disk utilization gets greater than 60-70%... I had an NT machine about 3 years ago come to a complete and utter halt due to pagefile fragmentation...

Just my humble opinion... Your mileage may vary.
