Why may a computer become slower when virtual memory is heavily used?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Storage access is slower than random access memory

The governing concept is paging: virtual memory reserves part of a storage device to act as an extension of RAM when physical RAM is insufficient. Storage, especially when used repeatedly for page transfers, generally has higher access latency than RAM. The processor must wait more often, so performance can decline. Thus option B is correct; virtual memory is not a printer feature and does not automatically erase files or turn off the screen.
