More memory does not always translate to faster loading times - it still has to read and load about 700MB from your hard drive - that's the bottleneck.
As far as using the page file, does your processor support hyperthreading? If so, try turning it off for this game. I don't know if SH3 supports it, and if it doesn't, it can actually be slower, and porbably would use only half the memory.
