I'd be a bit concerned long-term about how healthy it would be to have the NIT using swap a lot more often - *especially* in the case of the N810. The problem is that with swap you're naturally going to have quite a few more read/write cycles, and (for the benefit of those who may not know) flash memory will wear out after too many read/writes.
I suppose if the swap is on an ultimately removable card (such as with the N800) this would be less of a worry, since you can always replace it. This would not necessarily be the case with the N810, though. (And as far as I can tell, you can only put swap space on the internal memory card.)
So, yeah, you may get a performance boost from More Swap Utilization, but it may be the equivalent of burning the candle at both ends.
