This package doesn't seem to have an existing dedicated topic, so here it is! Note: introductory post updated to reflect later discussion.
swapper provides HDR-FOX with virtual memory to supplement the existing (limited) RAM. This is of general benefit for WebIF processing options, but particularly youtube-dl / qtube users, where the processing chain is likely to crash because of the RAM limitations. swapper invokes a swap file on the HDD (HDR-FOX). swapper is installed automatically, as an indirect dependency of web-if.
swapper is not currently compatible with HD-FOX (despite being installed automatically). However, it can be tweaked for HD-FOX – see post 2.
If you find a process is still running out of RAM, the swap space (128MB as standard) can be permanently increased by another tweak – see post 5.
