This has GOT to be the DUMBEST idea I've ever heard. Flash media has a limited write cycle, the abhorent speed compared to a hard drive, and do you really want to leave your memory stick plugged in as a perminant device? If you're having issues with swapping during specific tasks, kill some programs running, Firefox/Thunderbird take up quite a bit of ram each, etc.. If you have to, maybe go to console mode. Or just deal with it, the trashing isn't a big deal. I understand laptops aren't easily upgradable, I have two myself, but using a USB storage device as a swap partition is beyond stupid.
