Does anyone know why the stock OE builds don't include a swap file? Rbej's builds run considerably smoother then the stock ones for me. I know the culprit is the Sabnzb-Suite addon, but since it's included in the OE repo I've often wondered why they chose not to enable it. With the stock build and stock Sab, my Pi (512mb) is stable but sluggish when it's processing files. With lsellen's updated Sab (working CouchPotato), it reboots if you try to play a file while it's downloading and processing (lowering GPU mem fixes the reboots). With rbej's last build with a swap enabled, top shows 3x more free memory and the UI is smooth even when Sab is doing it's thing. Are there any downsides to having a swap in setups where it's not really needed?
