Astlinux does not use swap.  Swapping to flash memory would be brutal on 
flash (and on system performance).  There's really no reason to store 
static voice files in a ramdisk.  There may be a performance 
improvement, but I haven't seen a case where voice playback was hindered 
by reading from flash.  There also is no damaged caused to the flash 
media for reads (only writes).

I would have the same concerns about the processor.
