In my quest to speed up the 770 (I think that by loading my bookmarks and RSS feeds I’ve crushed it- it’s just so slow now that it’s mostly unusable) I ran across a link in the comments here<\/a> to a post on the users list<\/a> about enabling swap on the MMC, and how that could help processes in the poor 770.<\/p>\n

So here is my output, enabling 32Megs of swap on my 1G MMC, starting from a terminal on my Mac.
\nNote: you have to do this every time you reboot of course.\n<\/p>\n
