Keep in mind that this isn't going to be "everybody who gets a G1G1 machine is also going to be getting Fedora". It's going to be an option that's available for those that want to pursue it. As far as overlay, swap, etc -- the plan as it stands right now is that SD cards _as shipped_ pre-loaded will have an overlay and swap. And on any docs that go onto the OLPC site, we'll be pretty explicit with the exact parameters that want to be used. And with those and snap2, I've been reasonably running firefox and doing a few things. And I think that the performance matches pretty closely to what I was seeing back on the far older images. The biggest difference between the first image I posted and later ones is that we're now using the regular Fedora kernel as opposed to a one-off, OLPC-based, older kernel. Which means not necessarily having every Geode specific optimization as instead it's a kernel that's more generically optimized.
