Debunking zswap and zram myths zswap and zram are fundamentally different approaches with different philosophies. If in doubt, use zswap.

I've been slowly moving to #zswap. Though now, quite quickly thanks to this article. 😅 Especially when using #NVMe, the advantage is quite apparent. 😉

zram vs zswap vs zcache Ultimate guide: when to use which one What the hell are they? How are they different (I've written my understanding in an answer below) In the Zswap system, when a page is evicted from the zswap to the actual swap is it stored in a

TIL about #zswap "a compressed write-back cache for swapped pages, as a form of virtual memory compression". this will hopefully came in handy soon for performance :)
also there are zram and zcache (askubuntu.com/a/472227 has a comparison)

I was wrong! zswap IS better than zram Rule of thumb / TL;DR:If your system only uses swap occasionally and keeping swap demand within ~20–30% of your physical RAM as zram is enough, ZRAM is

Very good write up on #zswap and #zram. These things have such good improvements in general.

Not always is more ram feasible either. 😅 Looking at you gddr5 😒

#Linux #zswap decompresses pages before writing them from its #RAM pages to the disk #swap. Why? - #Windows doesn't.
