Actually, what I'd love to be able to do is simply flush swap space
periodically. I've noticed that once swap space usage passes approx. 20%,
device gradually becomes unbearable with regular day-to-day usage, hence
reboot is essential. Manually restarting /etc/init.d/tablet-browser-daemon
doesn't help much, yet it seems that browsing web is quite sluggish
regardless of restarting browserd. I'd simply like to know the way to
release swap space somehow, instead of rebooting device. Perhaps restarting
some other services?

The other option is tell specific "core" (like phone app) applications to be
never swapped away, yet I don't know whether that's possible at all.
