As root you can do in X-Terminal:

Code:

echo 30 >/proc/sys/vm/swappiness

This will make the N900 write less to the swap partition (it will still swap out when needed though, so no worries), resulting in less operations on the flash disk resulting in a more responsive device with longer battery life time.

IMHO it's more than just a placebo.
