Hi,

I have seen some emails talking about zRAM. I still have no time to go through these emails and yes, I'm referring to the endless threads about Firefox vs Chromium (I lost counting, how many threads so far?) and I've noticed many mentioned zRAM.

JUST for the record, there is still no version for 13.04

I have done a test before while zRAM enabled [1] and at the beginning, it was helpful but at the end of the day, the result was the same if it is disabled or not installed. I think, IMHO, it depends (case to case).

However, I think it is helpful, even little bit. Sometimes, you can feel and see the difference. Some other time, the difference will be little bit different.

I need to find sometime to read these threads :)

Ali, in the official repo, there is the package zram-config - the PPA should not be needed anymore.
