256MB for today's computer is a bit low... and running 700MB virtual memory is just asking for lag. Unless really required, it's recommended not to run more than 2x of your physical memory for virtural memory... due to lag problems and such... especially if physical memory is low. On "better" computers, it really doesnt matter what the VM is at cause the PM never gets used. Add some ram? Get a new computer? Upgradeee... or try my way... REFORMAT!
