From the few examples that people posted and what my other phone's "free" command I get the feeling that something went wrong. I did get a MALF warning but after that everything has worked normally

BusyBox v1.20.0.git (MeeGo 3:1.20-0.2+0m8) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

As you can see after reboot you have about 530MB free ram which is 256MB more than before, and swap file is now the 450MB mtd partiotion which was previously unused by the device.

I'm not going to make comparision if onenand mtd partition is faster than mass storage flash partition. If pages are cached in either flash its going to be a bit slower than ramz.

Performance benefit of this is that you have 256MB more ram to play with, and if your not running over 15 apps simultaneously then most likely this increased amount of ram will make your device faster, since its more unlikely that system needs to page your background apps in swap
