By default, piCore allocates 25% of memory for swap. Now I'm wondering how this makes any sense... would't swap only be used if you run low on memory? But then why would you steal memory to make it available through swapping?... -- Michael ___

On pCP by default we only enable ZRAM swap space (lz4 compressed swap in RAM), it gets the memory size from the kernel and allocates 25% for its use. Traditional hard disk swap is not turned on by default, for the main reason of saving the SD card. We have heard of a few users running LMS that
