I found the opposite problem somehow. CPU started becomming frequently pegged
in zswap for no obvious reason, while the underlying IO that zswap was doing
was only measurable in kb/s , far, far, far below the noise thresholds and
by no means a strain on even my crappy spinning rust based swap.

And to add to that, zswap introduced general protection faults and kernel panics.

So nah, I'm glad I turned that off, it was a huge mistake.
