I believe zram-config can be shipped unconditionally. It will decrease performance on a hypothetical machine with a slow CPU (or low memory bandwidth) and a really fast storage, but I couldn't find any such devices on the consumer market.
An Intel paper suggests that zramswap-like setups are beneficial even for ARM boards, which have slow CPUs and low memory bandwidth: http://www.celinux.org/elc08_presentations/belyakov_elc2008_compressed_swap_final_ppt.pdf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381059 Title: use zram-config by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/381059/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
