Root [Virgin Mobile] roehsoft memory expander (memory swapper) question

[spd890]

I downloaded the free test app and it says that memory swapping can work with this phone. its basically the swapper or swapper 2 app in the app store. my question is will it work? im on the redspot uncapped kernal.

This might be an interesting addition to my arsenal on my phone, but it sounds kind of dangerous... I am thinking of looking into it, but not sure the effect it would have for what I would want to use it for.

I have already switched my internal sdcard partition with my external Sd Card partition. Now I really don't know what to do with my 1.7GB or so of "external sd card". This would be an interesting way to use it... but I am concerned about it for a couple reasons. 1. Wear and tear on the internal memory and 2. The /data partition and the actual internal Sd card partition seem to share space with each other to some degree.
What I mean by this is that apps installed on the /data partition take away space from the internal sdcard partition as well. I'm not sure how android is doing this (but I'm still learning how these things work). I do notice that the data partition is slightly bigger though.

To clarify the partitions sharing data... I have nothing on the internal sdcard partition at the moment. yet the space taken up on it matches my data partition, if I install something or link it to the external the numbers change on both. This is true even when I have swapped my internal and external.
The numbers are as follows:
/data partition: Total-1.83GB Used-504MB Free:1.33GB
SD Card partition: Total-1.73GB Used:504MB Free-1.24GB

The max size is different, yet they are sharing space? how does this work? Anyone with android knowledge have the answer?

I noticed this last night as well. Same amount of data used on both. They both match when increasing or decreasing in amounts.
