Question Swapping??

Does using scripts like a2sd dartremor and apps like swapper and swapper2 for the purpose of swapping damages the memory card??? N does swapping really makes any differences in performance??

You just lose the anmount of space you use for swapping ofc
I tried swapping on many roms and system tends to lag a bit, but i f you want to browse for hours without browser FCing then you can use swap.

The effect on sd cqrd obviously isnt positive but it is not even negative cause you are just ising up.space on your sd card. I have used swap on many roms i.have felt it become smoother.
