Thanks for sharing the link. I used ZRAM + SWAP too,
but my system rarely runs out of RAM, so I guess it didn't matter that much.
However when it does run out of RAM, then I think ZSWAP should fit my use case better. 

Your tip, should certainly run better for the OP, which I believe experiences 
heavy swapping.

I wasn't aware that there are two swapping strategies and my Fedora defaults to
ZRAM.
