Hehe, thanks for the advice, as it happens I was just formatting one card with 2 x 1,5GB, will report if I notice improvement.

Edit: now I remember that in the past I had setup a manual swap partition on the whole 8GB Sandisk SD card, it did not improve anything, on the contrary, I felt the SD card by Sandisk performed sub par so now that I have found a no brand "Intuix" from Taiwan that looks promising I am testing again..

One thing I noticed: aplication manager got much faster (less running wheel time) by inserting this Intuix card compared to none inserted at all. How I can't explain.
