good point, if you're only using a few k of it, it isn't that important,
but 128mb isn't all that much to spare just-in-case.. it would really suck
one day if you were writing something in WP or doing something else
important, ran out of mem, and the app just closed :)
as far as having 512mb swap, was that one swap partition? b/c 2.0.x
kernels couldn't have taken advantage of more than 128mb per partition no
matter how big the swap partition was..
