By default if you don't edit the script, when device boots up, it reserves 256MB of it as ramzswap0, so effectively your device has 768MB of RAM for your application pages and 256MB of swap for compressed pages.

With the edited script you have 1024MB of RAM for your application pages and 422MB of swap for encrypted compressed pages.

You do the math.

PS. running dropcache makes your fileaccess operations slower, so you shouldn't really use that one unless you want to slow your device down.
Thanks for explanation; but with the above you mean that if before the tweak I had about 500MB of free RAM and after the tweak (and reboot) I always had about 500MB, is it normal and makes it sense?

PS: Why (and how) DropCache can slow down the device?
