Dear Maintainer,
ZRAM is quite a helpful feature to avoid swapping to storage. As it seems, the Debian config only allows for lzo and lzo-rle compression by default. As LZO is (according to the zramswap config) not only not the most efficient, but also the slowest algorithm, I'd propose to enable additional algorithms by default, and maybe even change the default algorithm. Zstd would most likely be a much better suited default, as it's a great compromise between speed and efficiency, and users can then choose on their own if they rather want to use e.g. LZO or LZ4 instead.


Best
Richard
