It appears that everyone who still sells the PRS-T2 is advertising it as having 512MB RAM. Mine clearly only has 256MB. I assume that is the case for all of them, and the ads are wrong.
It appears that 256MB is not quite enough for this device. Sony configured it without swap partition or swap file, and 'busybox free' shows that all of the 256MB is essentially always fully in use, not even leaving much for disk buffers. It looks like adding a swap file helps quite a bit. For the time being, I added a 128MB swap file on internal memory, with typically 30 to 50MB of swap being in use, but I have also seen it to go much higher for some memory hungry applications. I think adding swap also seems to help with the indexing service force-closing when too many books are added.
Have these matters been discussed? Are there any recommendations?
