While at first after applying the switch Reaper seemed to benefit, my whole system eventually became very sluggish...

The 3GB switch may work fine on a dual-boot scenario with nothing but Reaper and your ASIO drivers loaded. I'm considering doing this. For now, the best solution was to maximize the page file size to what Windows recommended in the Advanced setting controls in Computer>Properties.

Everything runs better, is very stable. It used to hang at VST loads/changes and I got the dreaded memory warning. At the risk of getting technical on everyone, it seems very "snappy".
