Where did you get the idea not to use swap?

Too many writes.
(dexters writes "disable local syslog, log rotation" for the same reason)

I believe the size of the writes can be relevant as well.
In any case, swapfs was not designed for flash memory
(see also Windows Vista's ReadyBoost <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost>).

Stroller.
That was exactly my point. Systems based on cf card as hard drive are usually small - one function focused devices, hence there is no need for swap partition. To extend lifetime of cf card you have to minimize all possible read/writes to card.
