Also confirming that swap on an external microSD causes serious degradation after a few days of usage. I had a 2GB partition in conjunction with the 768MB and would be huge delays in the UI after less than a day of heavy usage that required swapping.
This could be handy for things that you don't use all the time (pedometer, recaller, etc). They won't stay active until you start it.
Or maybe just provide not-widget version of the applications...
