OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 3 (Kodi 14.0)

Can you confirm if the zram swap is actually being used after starting a YouTube video (check with "free" to see if if swap used is zero or not), or look at the zram statistics mentioned in the guide I linked to in the release post).
I've been tinkering around with ZRAM quite a while ago while modifying the kernel of my Samsung I9000 (SGS) - it's some kind of tradeoff depending on how memory starved you are. If your available memory is close to zero, ZRAM will keep you going a bit longer but things might become a bit unresponsive. If you've got some room to work with, ZRAM indeed improved the situation back in those days. Apps could stay in memory with ZRAM enabled when the low mem killer would have shut them down before - especially launchers and stuff.

Not sure how that does compare on the RPi though - I've enabled ZRAM for now (256mb RPi) and will see if I run into problems. Can't do that much harm either way I guess...
