The graph is on a logarithmic scale btw

Configuration Before series (ms) With series (ms)
1 vCPU 22.3 (21.6-22.6) 0.97 (0.72-1.4)
8 vCPUs 314 (97-2542) 7.0 (5.0-98)

    To me the compression sounds like it would increase RAM (virtually speaking), without hitting performance too much. Otherwise it would use the SSD and io is generally much slower than RAM operations (and compression, decompression in memory only if its fast like this one). When I understand the benefit correctly.

      Yeah I think I understand, too. You’re increasing the swapping by introducing an area in RAM that is no longer usable as regular RAM, but you’re also compressing, which “increases” the available RAM, so to speak. 😅 At the cost of CPU of course.
