From what you described of the memory usage of your system, it's not going to get even remotely close to needing swap on a PC with 2GB RAM (video decoding only requires enough RAM for the codec and a few frames at a time).  If it really is a problem (e.g. much less than 2GB available) and you can't cache stacks to the disk then you could write your own in memory caching system that destroys the least recently used one when you go past a certain number of stacks downloaded.
