Now here is a VERY interesting paper that advocates the disabling of pre-fetching for massive improvements in VM on flash.
On the other hand it seems there should be some system tweaking for compcache to be effective. Unfortunately I have NFC where and what
to tweak besides what i've already posted.

ok - issue solved - the following made it work:
swapon /dev/mmcblk0p3
insmod /lib/modules/current/ramzswap.ko disksize_kb=65536
swapon /dev/ramzswap0 -p 10
swapoff /dev/mmcblk0p3
it seems that enabling the internal memory's swap was needed to avoid the crash - i don't know why.
Now i have 2 swaps:
/dev/mmcblk1p4 (P -1)
/dev/ramzswap0 (P - 10)
Thanks for the help.

64MB ramzswap
swap on eMMC
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
echo 32 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
echo 95 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
echo 666 > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster
echo 4 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/nr_requests
echo 4 > /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/nr_requests
All is as smooth as Bulgarian butter so far, and yes I have opened many webpages, have a video playing in the background and conversations+images+file manager.
Cat /proc/swaps shows ramz is well full ages ago.
Will report later.

Does the "ramzswap" suffer from fragmentation issue same as with the mmc/internal swap? does it need to get swapoff+swapon also to fix it?

any (good) news?
What I think I forgot to mention in my former post, that when ramzswap was enabled and I had both other (eMMC, SD) swaps enabled, both were used simultaneously (same amount of data written); even the SD swap had higher priority than eMMC.
