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

[From: Clemens Eisserer]

Yep you're right - it runs as long smooth as long as your mmc is
willing to play.
But keep in mind that a swap-file means meany reads/writes to the same
areas of flash which will for sure lead to the death of the mmc later
or sooner.
