I have 2GB of Ram and I still get some page outs.... It just depends on what you are doing and how much stuff you are running at once.
On a fresh restart, I dont have any...
But After 30 days of up time, like 9 programs opened, safari with 10 tabs (2 of which are pictures and multi media) you will use all your ram, and your "inactive memory" will be paged out to the hard disk before it is cleared to make room. So page outs are going to happen. I would not look at this as a bad thing.
OSX handles memory much more efficantly and differently than a windows based machine. It will keep EVERYTHING in Ram as long as it can, even if you arent using it. This is your blue inactive memory. Say you opened iphoto 11 days ago, it still might be in your Ram as inactive memory, so next time you open it, it is accessed from Ram and not your hard drive. This is much much faster...
