That is true but in this case, AFAIK, with the maemo control panel you're building a swap file on a FAT32 file system. That would most likely result in a different performance metric than if you built a swap file on top of ext3 or used a raw swap slice. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, however, as I've considered partitioning up my own SD cards. I do know that the I/O throughput varies greatly from card to card which is why the high speed SDHC cards are more expensive depending on the speed class. q.v. http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/speed_class -Gary _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
