freemangordon what will this do to our N900 ?
So far I am not seeing much difference to be honest..although it hasn't been long.

Ramzswap0 was filled first after reboot, so that looks okay.
Curious to see how it's going to behave in terms of cpu/battery costs and performance wise after a period of time...
Code:
cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/mmcblk0p3 partition 786424 57804 -2 /dev/ramzswap0 partition 131064 130728 -1

I am installing right now..
should we be more careful with compcache enabled about swappiness value? a value of 100 would make the cpu compressing data all the time?
edit: installed with priorities correct!. testing begins..

disable and enable again "regular" swap - as one turned on later, it will have lesser priority.
Another approach is to get swqapon from - for example - debian - it have setting priority ( - p ) working, unlike vanilla maemo swapon.

cat /proc/swaps , i cant find the ramswap drive
After short usage, I would say that device is a bit more responsive (my subjective judgement) under heavy load (multiple application running simultaneously).
Thanks for bringing this option to Maemo!
EDIT: After some usage I see problems, device start to lag and eventually does not respond at all, need a reboot.
