LEDs really don't mean much. You can have no performance-impacting activity and have the LED stay lit.

what do you mean as more costly ?...
More expensive (computational/performance) wise.

Would they put the nopaging setting if it wasen't there in virtual setting
Because, just like the Task Manager, many, many things are mislabeled to make them "easier" to understand.

Go read Windows Internals to gain some knowledge about the Virtual Memory Manager and paging. You'll understand why, in general (which means, gaming, every other end user task, and many server-level tasks), disabling or changing page file settings really doesn't do much or is detremental to performance.
