Hi,

I just stumbled upon this site [1] where right at the beginning a method called ramzswap is mentioned. Investigating further I found this [2] and finally ended up here [3].

Essentially it's trading off CPU power in favour of RAM (hopefully at a very favourable exchange rate). For the Efika MX [4] this seems to improve performance and since the HW of the N900 isn't that different I guess this might apply here too. But then again I'm concerned about the watchdog if big amounts of ramzswap contents are read or written.

Any thoughts on this (especially from kp developers)?
