./suspend /dev/<your_swap_partition>

Does it need to be mounted (so it possibly gets filled and thereby unusable),
or can it be a mkswapped partition?

A mkswapped one will do. Actually a mounted one will do either and the data
on it won't get damaged.

Can it even be a swap-file?

No.

Probably not, unless you want to resume by ro-nojournalreplay-mounting the
corresponding partition.

How big does it have to be, compared to the RAM? As big + n? Bigger? BIGGER?

May be smaller. You'll need at most 1/2 of your RAM size of free space on it.

I'll put the answers in the howto, thanks for the hint.

Greetings,
Rafael

Since large distributed memories have significant logic footprint combined with either long access latencies or slow performance (large non-pipelined muxes and decoders), you will have to look at the XC3S1500 or XC3S1600E if you need your memory to be fast and low-latency: these are the two smallest S3 devices that can implement your RAM entirely within Block RAMs. ...
