with this i suppose the performance lost by using thumb2 is less noticable in low memory situations due to the gain made reducing i/o to swap. great achievement getting this far but as it is my only device i'll hold off for now until its had a little broader testing.

i noticed you stated it reduced memory footprint by about 30mb. it would be interesting if someone could put together a comparison of memory usage for some common apps compiled with and without thumb support to illustrate the difference.

all we need now is a way to avoid swap fragmentation, maybe a different allocation startergy @ kernel level. ereswap solves it in userland for now but, no direspect intended, i don't feel it is the best solution.
