AFAIK it dumps the RAM to a dump file, not the page file.

No, when the system bugchecks, the filesystem drivers may be in a borked state, so the only safe thing to do is to be able to write to the pre-allocated pagefile sectors on the primary storage device. Upon reboot, the memory dump is copied into a .dmp file.
 
I used the dism tool to cleanup the winsxs folder on my V8P and got almost 4gb back. This is windows 8.1 with the latest updates applied.
 
pagefile is equivlanet to memory amount you don't need that big a page file anymore.

hiberfil.sys gets big and system restore can be removed.
