Re: [Feedback Needed] zram-config

 

1. No
2. No
3. No
4. 4GB in a virtual machine. Notebook has 8GB
5. No, not direct. Maybe it affects the pf-kernel which has no zram.
6. For machines like my one absolutely not necessary. Could impact performance for games or other situations where the cpu is more or less at 100% usage.

Dear Members of Lubuntu Community,

As all of you know, zram-config has been added by default to Saucy Build for Lubuntu - special thank to Leszek Lesner, the one who suggested to add it by default [1] - and some of the community did many tests and shared the results and I was one of those [2].

After I resigned from Lubuntu and while I'm still a member of this community but with no leading roles anymore, I do need your help. I have joined other communities and started to help them with testing and soon, other tasks.

I'm trying to suggest the same idea of adding/enabling zram-config by default in order to increase the performance but one of those communities, is not really interested or to be more accurate, they are asking for more data that support the arguments. I have offered to carry on many tests and have already sent my first report yesterday but they seem not yet convinced.

Long story short, if you could be so kind and nice, would you mind answering these simple Qs for me, please?

*_zRAM Feedback - Survey _*

 1. Have you noticed any improvement in the performance of your system
    after zram has been enabled by default with Saucy Daily Build?
    *(Yes/No)*
 2. Have you noticed any improvement to your CPU Usage (less CPU
    Usage)? *(Yes/No)*
 3. Have you experienced any problems because of enabling zram by
    default (system freezing, very high CPU usage, high temperature,
    etc)? *(Yes/No)*
 4. You are testing Lubuntu Saucy with _ _ _ MB/GB RAM?
 5. In general, do you think adding zram will add more complications
    to the kernel or to the system and cause some stability issues?
    *(Yes/No)*
 6. Any other feedback/note you would like to share?


As always, thank you so much for your cooperation in advance.

This will not only help me or other communities,it will help Lubuntu to reassess the advantage/disadvantage of adding zram :)
