Wear SSD - is it worth optimizing the system?

Greetings. My Macbook Pro 13' has a Crucial C300 RealSSD 256 GB. (It also costs 750 gb hdd, there are symlinks to Download, music-movies are stored, etc.)
I used to disable image recording during hibernation, transferred / tmp to ramfs (as well as application caches)
Now I increasingly see reports that the mortality of ssd is greatly exaggerated and only the earliest ssds died.

The question is - is it worth it to pervert with all these optimizations at all?
PS OS - Lion, TRIM support patch installed.

Trim is quite enough. For modern SSD mortality is exaggerated, here you are right.
10,000 rewriting cycles per cell is, of course, not an HDD, but it is quite enough for the life of a disk before an upgrade.

I have never read about the death of an SSD from wear and tear ...
All articles and examples talk about the death of the controller.
And this is the worst thing, because death is sudden and takes away all the data.
And we control wear in time, in general, it’s not so terrible ...

IMHO, only TRIM-Enabler is enough. You can not use everything else, although moving /var/run to ramfs (with enough memory) can significantly speed up some applications.

"noatime" can be included, although last year's article, Makos, perhaps, knows everything herself.
