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) |

Ah, okay. I get it, I think. You’re still using the same amount of RAM but you’re spending some CPU cycles compressing its contents to make more room.
Can you combine zswap with regular swap, like a swap device or swap file?
Zswap always(?) uses a swap file or disk partition. It does a smart job using both compressed memory and disk space as swap
zRam does not use disk. Do not attempt combining zRam with any kind of swap on disk, it’s a horrible combination
Oh okay, so zswap actually requires a swap file or device? Or just uses it if available?
I think it might require it, but I’ve never tried it without.
Thanks for all your info, friend. I appreciate it.
