    To change the VM management you would need to rewrite the Darwin layer VM manager. The existing version is pretty damn good so it is much more likely that it would be screwed up than made better.

    Are you even using virtual memory? How many pageouts do you have in the System Memory tab of Activity Monitor?

    Not gonna happen, there are no user settings whatsoever. OS X doesn't need them, it's as fast as it's going to be as long as your HD isn't damn near full.
