Hello, I came across zram recently and I’d like to know if I should use it, my laptop only has ~4GB of ram, and for the most part it’ll only stutter when I open multiple programs or a game, so would zram be adequate in my case?
Also, would the compressing and decompressing have a significant impact on my cpu?
zram is only suitable if you have no swap. I’d you have swap, zswap does a better job. It also compresses pages in memory, but swaps the least recently used pages to disk when pressured.
