Virtual RAM Size for Low Fragmentation

Initial Size and Maximum Size, what should they be? I read about free space fragmentation which is what I'm having right now (Defraggler says 0 Fragmented Files, 0% Fragmentation) after Quick Defrag, then after full defrag where it actually moves your data into it's own sector, it fragments some of my TF2  and L4D2 Steam files.

 

Also, I checked "Stop VSS while defragmenting, but my Volume System Information gets fragmented. I've found this situations happening with Piniform programs, such as their CCleaner. If you wiped free space on the Cleanup section, it will not wipe free space ever again. It seems that Piniform programs don't save settings properly.

The swap file itself should never become fragmented. I put my swap space on a sepperate partition.

 

What exactly is your question? Im sure piriform will have a place where you can report bugs.

Initial is what is constantly in use and maxinum is what, well, is max it will use. I have them both at 8gigs so it will always have max at use. It should affect fragmantation since fragmentation occurs when files are moved around. Also I don't understand why defragmentation software would fragment files inorder to remove fragmentation.
