Is that literally all it takes? Wouldn't that be swappiness 0, not swappiness 1? Since swappiness 0 will still swap when absolutely necessary, right?

(At the end of the day, I am more or less content with swappiness 20, and following the other values that were eventually integrated into swappolube - though I'm currently unsure how I feel about dirty-expire-centisecs and whatever the other similar sounding setting was [the unsureness comes from a not-complete understanding of the technical aspects of how the daemons involved are influenced by those settings, and what they do exactly]. My main desire, and dissatisfaction with the N900's swapping, was that whenever I type a long enough forum post/message, is always, invariably, eventually starts to swap. And because it swaps relatively constantly beyond that point, it causes that lag with the message input, combined with utterly missed characters. I realize part of this is probably a fault of Hildon-Input-Method, not just kernel swapping behavior, but I undeniably noticed that things weren't as bad with swappiness at 20. The point, though, is that I understand that memory and swapping is a complicated enough matter that if I JUST slam swappiness to almost-nil, it won't be good for the device elsewhere. However, if I am able to keep device performance similar as it is already in all my other use cases, I wouldn't mind tweeking parameters to that point. I was experimenting with this before pr. 1.3, now I haven't gotten around to messing with the settings since - especially since I wanted to give it a try and see how it runs currently before going in and mucking about with that values it sets by default at every boot.)
