how long does it last? I can easily get more than 24hours with normal usage
I have terrible battery life with chat on. Will this make a difference or is this one of those things that prolongs the battery as long as you don't use the device as intended always on device?
how do you edit and save the rcS file using midnight commander? i can locate it edit it but when i click save and it says i cant save?
Not sure. Could you please give some explanation about this?

I changed the swappiness to 30 and page-cluster to 1. From what I can tell, I no longer get the slowdowns in freezes in micob that I used to have. The conversations app seems to start up faster too.
However, I am saying "may" because if eMMC chip is smart enough it can combine the multiple short sequential writes to a single 128KB in some buffer. Unfortunately, I don't know the specs of eMMC chip.

To anybody, who wants changing swappiness or rcS, I repeat here -
I highly recommend to anybody who wants to change rcS - instead of that just create a file /etc/event.d/somename with following lines:
... and insert any another wished lines after "echo 30" and before "end script"
This would not corrupt your N900 in case of problem and it allows the next Nokia OTA upgrade.

Oh no!!!Copied the rcs file using winsp, modified the swappiness, cluter thing to 15 and 1, copied the file back and replaced the original. Changed the indexer settings as shown above. Switched off my device, changed the battery, switched it on. Nokia white screen shows for a few seconds and then device switches off again. Tried it five times and happens again and again. So I have now officially bricked my device.
And my usb port is faulty so I cannot even reflash the device. So I now have a dead device.
