No atime keeps the system from trying to update the last access time. If you don't have your filesystem mounted read-only then each access to the file updates the atime. On a CF with a limited number of write cycles this will burn them up much quicker as a simple read also involves a write. >> option if you have not already done it.

Swapping on a CF would just be a "Bad Thing" you would eat up all your write cycles in short order. I would also be slow as most CF take a good bit of time to do a write. -- Richard A.
