   Haven't used #zswap before, only #zram. Anecdotally, it is amazing. I am doing major git-repack and computer not breaking a sweat.

     With #zram I get what I'm assuming is an LRU inversion. With #zram, the machine stutters. With #zswap it glides like nobody's business.

     @clacke zram is useful on small systems with not much memory, like the Beaglebone Black

     @bob #zram rocks. With disk swap, my story says use #zswap. A counter-story: http://www.hecticgeek.com/2013/11/zswap-responsiveness-ubuntu/

     Aargh. It's #zswap . That line doesn't do anything meaningful. This one does:
     
     GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash zswap.enabled=1"
