It seems that the browser on OS2008 runs slower if I have virtual memory enabled. Is it really worth enabling? If so, is there an optimum size? I read that smaller sizes are better.

The Linux kernel (at least on normal servers and desktops) likes to swap a lot. I don't know if this is true on the NIT as well.
You could install one of the kernels which includes SHDC support for SD cards allowing faster I/O.
You might indeed want to lower your virtual memory and see if this improves the performance.

If you can run without it, go for it. If you find that you are getting random reboots, I would suggest enabling it.
I personally crash often without swap, but I do more with my tablet than most.
