The Swap file using Windows defaults of 1.5g, remained unchanged.

On a whim I disabled GOBACK and the excess disk activity appears to have
stopped, I re-enabled system restore. I am down to 55+ gigs free, but I
accepted the default for 12% on drive C, so if it took 8 gigs for its own
restore points, thats darn close to being right. Had I not disabled Goback,
I would have been down to 50+ gigs free (remembering that sys restore at
the time was disabled) after it sitting overnight, I will check it again
this afternoon.

If I am right, GOBACK was the culprit.
