Well, I have no real insights in performance issues. What I observed is that the memory
available is rather low, but it is all too young for as that I could reason about the
benetifs of a adding swap.

I read about it on the openmoko wiki, google now gave me this
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SwapSpace
A link to here http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td2171203 presents a series of
users who like it.

Many greetings

Steffen
