mr_pingu! Cmon

Of course it is written to "automagically" swap, when reaching
1.5GB minus configurable_threshold

The way I set this up, you never have to bother to swap manually, all will be done at night when I am sleeping. Also you (Atleast I do) never reach the threshold in 1 day so your phone is responsive, even after longer uptime

Possibly, but then you swap too often! I. e. you swap from one part to the ther part and write unnecessary often a lot of data to the flash memory. This is also the reason why I extened my swap partitions (on the fly

as I still use swap space in files not partitions) to 1,5GB each. The bigger the lesser need to swap (more time).
I could easily swap manually (sh swapoffon_mmc) or schedule with fcron. I like it that way. But understand your approach also.

You do not need 3, but should have at least 2 SD partitions. (I still leave eMMC swap enabled. fwiw?)

Nice discussion here ongoing, keep on

So, I do have four (4) possibilities:
swapset (incl ramzwap, but not favored)
ereswap (good for enthusiasts and knowledged people)
flopswap (very good and easy GUI, for everybody)
and
my own incarnation of swap defragging (preferred

)
