[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] swapfile is a huge improvement!

hey

I decided to try the swap partition on my flash card and it made a HUGE
difference. Even with only 25mb swap (30mb wouldn't work for me), now
memory is not nearly the concern it was. I can run multiple apps, look
at complex pdf documents, etc. Just like I expected my 770 to do in the
first place!

I think the vm may need to be tuned if nokia plans to keep shipping
these things with 64mb and no swap. Swap changes the character of the
vm, so even adding ram may not whip things into shape in the same way.
