Can you give me the steps to install it?

Thanks

Install Debian and have your LibreOffice running in chroot :)

Running compcache with 128MB disksize, xterm, microb, contacts, conversations, fapman, and LibreOffice running. It doesn't explode anymore!

Some things get laggy under high load though (such as CSSU's tactile) and the UI. Music playback is OK.

BTW, my 512MB swap partition which used to reach 160 MB under this load now contains a bit more than 7MB. Magical!

EDIT: Unfortunately, while stable enough for me, it sends CPU usage to high hell. 100% most of the time, running at 250-600MHz btw.

have you got speedpatch installed?
sorry my off topic

^ *Kills this one with a railgun*

sorry for off-topic even more, but LibreOffice *don't* work well via EasyDebian, due to gconf2 upgrade, which break almost everything in ED...

@freemangordon, what do you mean by "notifications working *most of the time*"?

Strange, works OK with disksize 131072 but with disksize 120512 I get instant reboot every time.

Damn, this is exciting!

@estel:
from first post:
"Notifications are working, but seems there are paths in the kernel swap subsystem allowing direct write over a page without first marking it free.
Seems like memory consumption should not be affected by that.
"
aanckar: are you sure you use flash swap too? if not you will have oom kills for sure

May I have your /dev/mtd2 contents?

False alarm, seems only to have been caused by a bit noobishness from my part (an error when typing the swapon/swapoffs), both work well now.

do you need a SD card to use this?

To all of you who are trying compcache:

Please use disksize_kb of 120512, it seems 131072 leads to massive lag after a while(not enough free RAM left).

EDIT:
and please test with different values for /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster and /proc/sys/vm/swappiness.

My current values are
swappiness 20
page-cluster 2

but my flash swap is on SD card, so for internal flash optimal values may vary
