Wei, don't lah say cheating! 
The other trick is to cover your left hand with a cloth and then sweep... pretty much the same effect like a string dampener, but more "wtf?!" coz no one can see your fingers move...
Anyway, I find that ascending arpeggios are easier to play clean because, like you said, you can use your palm to mute the string after moving on.
...descending arpeggios on the other hand have always been bothering me. A dampener would be the most effective solution, but maybe not necessarily the most efficient?
I'd love to hear what the sweeping sifus here think, especially Gapnap... (though he'll probably com up with some indie comment or just say "Practice more!")

hahaha ..ok..INDIE COMMENT AHEAD !! .
to bman:
yea..philosophical point of view...
define "cheat" and "not cheating" ..why is putting a rubber band on top called "cheating" ..says who it is cheating? the Shred bible?
who is the shred bible ?
in fact..
why do you care about what people think of your playing in the first place ?
If its easy , it sounds good..why not ?
unless you play to only impress people ..which is seriously lame..
i play for Money..i think my excuse also make more sence ..
ANYWAY
seriously...
when you're gigging..chances are ...99 % people wont give a fvck ...( that 1% is the 2 guitarist of serpent ash..and maybe echobrainproject)
If you are playing for self satisfaction..then..don't cheat ..make sure you can do it ..
