Yes -- I am wondering what Windows is really doing internally, though.

What does it mean that no physical storage is allocated in memory?  Obviously
no pages are allocated.  But do they allocate page tables so they can catch
accesses to the reserved memory?  Or for performance reasons, so it can
be changed to committed faster?

They're keeping track of reserved memory somehow, the question is what
amount of resource is being dedicated to the task.
