Swap Partition?

For those of us on 256MB Pi's, would it be feasible to use a linux swap partition on our SD cards? I understand our cards won't be as fast as RAM but we use it on Android so is it possible here?

 

Also, all those Linux nerds out there, feel free to mock my suggestion. I don't know too much about linux.

The OpenELEC build system has swap support - but swap is disabled for RPi since it will be very slow… but I never tried it…

Maybe there are some OpenELEC user reports on swap and RPi…
