I can't say that I actually know anything about this but it sounds
like a good idea...

This is not always true, if one uses a drawing app (ala Photoshop)
then the device movement history is VERY important, if one draws
something and the computer starts to swap (or what ever) for some
reason the device movement during the time the computer is busy
swapping (or what ever) should not be lost...
This could of course be made a boot/compile time option but it should
IMO be possible to get the movement history...
