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.
High CPU usage seems to be because of the disksize you are using, try with 96 MB.

And now as we have compcache running I am sure someone have to play a little with kernel parameters (swappiness, page size, what else?) in order to have maximum performance gain
