Nice! That kernel version would let us run compache with immediate release notification so we can free compressed cache immediately. The kernel on the K4NT and Touch will run compcache fine, but freeing memory may be delayed until a process terminates. Freeing memory immediately on release is MUCH better.
But then, as the kindles are now with NO cache, even limited compcache support is a huge plus.
I think that putting cache files on the mmc instead of compressed RAM is a bad idea, because I did not see write wear levelling code in the mmc read and write routines. Compcache was designed for tablet devices like the kindles, and I think that we should be using it. The touch runs out of memory much too quickly, especially when using optware while the framework is still running.
