This isn't terrible. There are ways to mitigate the amounts of what I would call unnecessary writes to a OS SSD. First off, if you have a hard drive you know will stay in the system you could create a Virtual Memory (or Page) file on that drive equal to the size of the one on your boot drive, reboot, then size the page file on your OS drive down to 512MB. Your system uses the Page file whether you want it too or not. You need a minimum 512MB for a Kernel Memory dump, the rest Windows uses for stowing Log files. So without a sufficient page file elsewhere you'll get that clutter.
The other thing is, if your 'User' folder resides on your boot drive, as it does for 99% of us, then so does your web browser's Cache folder. Think every unique item (pic, vid, whatever) is being stowed temporarily to your SSD. Not ideal for anyone who does a bit of random boredom browsing. in fact everything any app creates post install ends up in your User folder (game saves, ect.). So, got a very trustworthy hard drive that will always reside in your system and isn't a performance dog saddled with power save features? That would be a good candidate to house the bulk of your paging files and your entire 'User' folder. Search this on Google: lifehacker 5467758. First result will be the article I used to move my User Folder off my 128GB SSD and onto a 1TB 7200RPM notebook drive.
The one thing I would mention is that if you have a lot of drives in your system you will want to de-complicate by having only the Hard Drive you intend to move the User folder to connected with the SSD while you're doing this. Also, symbolic links do not behave the same from one system to another. I have one system where they behave like the article's example, another where they are just plain weird. You should conduct a test to know how they translate from the repair environment to the OS.
Well, have fun with all that. Hope some of my at-work boredom was useful.
