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?

    Thank you for the detailed response!

    I’m gonna give it a try in my current session and if it works I’ll make it permanent.

    One more thing I’d like to ask though is what would be an appropriate size for zram? Considering it grows dynamically 50% would probably be a good amount right?
