also thought i would point out any package manager (apt, app manager, easydeb syamptic) will bring the system to a stand still
Disk I/O is horrible admittedly, but its the memoryswapping is what kills the device. Like on any desktop I use, I'd love to disable swap, but 256 megs of memory isn't alone enough to run the device
odd, i would say it improved the performance on my N800 vs using the SD card as swap.
sure, it will have a performance hit vs straight ram. but when comparing swap and compressed in ram, then what?
btw, given the way android handles processes, the benefits there could be minimal vs what one get on the N8x0 or N900, as its more a traditional computer in its process management.
