True, but please note I was talking about the amount of fresh swap written, not current swap size. It is the fresh swap amount that is displayed in FlopSwap (and not updated in its status bar after a swap is performed). So immediately after a swaponoff, the amount of fresh swap is zero, regardless of the current swap size.

Hope that clears up what I wanted to say.

And while I'm here...I just ran FlopSwap, it did a startup check and indicated 99% fresh swap written, but no warning popped up (I have the threshold set to 94%). Restarting Flopswap, it pops up the warning ok. Hmmm, seems more like a maemo issue with banners than a Flopswap problem.
