"Garbage collecting" before opening Koreader would bring some benefits and lower the crash/rate due to memory lack

128Mbyte or 256Mbyte will do just fine.

towbob has shown that, when he native compiles such monsters as libwebkit-gtk.
I wonder if enabling swap partition could give some benefits/noticeable improvements also in everyday use or only compiling... It's a nice idea, the problem of this approach is mainly the waste of memory, that is already few (on Kindle PW at least)

P.S. anyway know something about forcing the garbage collection still interest me
