How can I stop Windows from swapping the VirtualBox application's memory to disk when it's idle? It's a performance issue when my guest OS looks for data and it's not available - also since it makes use of its own sawp partition.

It is Linux - but my interest is disabling Windows from swapping any VBox data, and letting the Linux partition use its own native methods. I have 2x dedicated HDs in raid 0 to handle the entire virtual system, so any off-loading to the windows disk is redundant and not desired.
