Swap on flash storage is not a very good idea. Write levelling benefits are lost. Anecdotally, I killed a few cards in my time using a swap when I had a Zaurus sl5500 and was compiling code with gcc on board. Also quite slow unless you are using a really good quality unit, usually one soldered to motherboard rather than removable.

I meant the CPU, it's just an old 1ghz TI with a s*tty GPU, sth. along 1st gen WP devices.
1GB ram could be a more tough matter, but given that Maemo supports swap I believe they could trim it.
