Disk paging should go away but only I think if the system also supports memory compression. iOS has had page compression for a long time. The time taken to compress a page with a reasonable algorithm is orders of magnitude faster than the disk write, even for SSDs.
I've got it enabled on my Pis and little Intel machines[0] with soldered on RAM. I wish I didn't need to do as a "hack" but it works and I'm not doing anything crazy where the performance hit is meaningful.
