I would be quite sure it does.

Writing to the SD Card is quite slow,
slow enough that even the slow processor of the N900 should apply the simple compression at a much faster rate.

Also random seek times are by magnitudes better for ram.
Obviously this will give you far less additional memory than swap on a SD can.

(Maybe I will test it myself within the next week)

Oh no need! There is an extensive study by Nokia themselves!

Man I miss the old Nokia
So it has huge benefits, even over Swap on the device eMMC, which is faster than a SD.
