Please tell me I'm reading this wrong: 'swap file on the internal flash'. You do know that flash is broken after ~100k writes/cell, right? And you know that will break your 770, right?
I think you are living in the past. Modern flash chips have a write endurance of greater than a million cycles. Also, wear leveling means that even if you repeatedly write to the same logical sector number a million times, you will NOT have written to any one flash location over a million times. Life cycle endurance is not a reason not to use internal flash as swap.
Now, the fact that internal flash is a very limited resource and is not expandable, as is external flash - that is a reason not to use internal flash for swap.
