No, as enabling swap is very fast, it doesnt consume boot time. Further I do not need to disable eMMC swap, as I start SD swap with higher priority. Last I do not disable eMMM swap, as it will not be used anymore at all (lower priority, it would only be used when my swap overloads). Just a few 4-5 MB are left on eMMC which were used during time between ke-recv and my script.

As - at this point - some thing are already swapped (most likely, You run event.d scripts after starting hildon-desktop), they need to be moved from eMMC swpa to microSD swap.
Again no, as I start my script like
start on started ke-recv
and then wait until SD and/or eMMC are mounted.
As desribed above, tme swap ram is not moved back. At least not immediately, but slowly during runtime.

As for using microSD swap together with eMMC swap, I don't recommend it, even with higher priority for microSD swap - it's still "in use", which creates (less, but still), I/O rade with things from optFS.
Just a No, as explained above.
Or at least what I understood with my limited Linux skills.

Also, I'm quite sure, that using loopback file for swap is considerably slower than native swap - as it's with ED loopback image or native partition.
This is a full Yes from your experiences with ED. But I do not know that in detail for swap space.
Again, limited Linux skills.

Just yesterday my phone was ringing but the screen didn't turn on or respond until it was too late. N900 is great as a pocket computer, but pretty bad as a telephone because of that kind of thing... in my opinion.
