Your conf is OK. But using compcache caused lots of huge lags/freezes/reboots, so I do not use it at all anymore.
For me, compcache works and I feel the speed/occasional lags tradeoff OK

Currently I've swapset installed, so I think it sets swaps after start of Hildon-desktop

I mean:
If data used 'often' are swapped in compcache, we could try to swap out 'old' data from compcache to 'real' swap in order to keep most used data in ram. I did not found any mechanism like that - and at a second glance it looks like it won't make sense in a desktop system where we don't have so many constraints and compressed file systems. I am currently using two smaller eMMC swaps instead of a big one, and it feels more laggy but with shorter lags. It is really hard to tell if there are differences without a test suite and with so many use cases.
