The linked github version for the Pi removes current swap and replaces it with zram swap calculated for the performance/cores of a Pi3 or better.

I've found no performance issues so far in testing.... though no obvious benefits yet either... Wink
Ah, that brings back memories back in the DOS days.. A memory compressor.

I'd see if I can get that support in. Chances are, it'd require a new kernel though.. Wiill explore this in time.
