swap space for performance Possible Duplicate:
  How will a swap partition/file affect the system?  




so what do you think, is it better to use swap space or not for small memory phone such as T-Mobile G1 to increase responsiveness and overall performance?
I found it better to use compcache rather than swap. Basically -- a section of RAM is reserved and used as a swap space with compression. Even with the performance hit from compression, it was sufficiently faster than conventional swap that it was a clear-cut winner in performance.

CyanogenMod supports it (Settings > CM Settings > Performance, I believe). I'm sure other mods include it as well, but I am not familiar with them.
