CPU started becomming frequently pegg= ed 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 p= anics. So nah, I'm glad I turned that off, it was a huge mistake. --Sig_/bFsaz6e_JJ=n7DeRXVVPJrX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEPZazbI/qrFT1o9rn6FQySxNmqCAFAlknXIUACgkQ6FQySxNm qCCioBAAsM6qIsV5kPhojZSp9vF4mKfFwXwBxEw5q4zg3EQQvT3hxPU4qBOheA1L BNAjxfVmEHnXHLDDuAniGTqwItCpsBnemVB+WUHE1s2vG3p7h8Z3/ukTYf5iZe1o oP/Icnq/B5M3HR+hDazazw1nWE837DpeJa5k1GDYS5yxEXZV8f/uGrZC/xoI01wq QIlDbW+093T1WhPZ7ErfBQCCiN7vzsYnZqFCKIUlq6ghfhw+Gd9+MaK31qb4j/UO D0wV16pknkh5yh5jlD76WiUB0LDg+FmHwUKppmcGq0BN1EN/Ab2ETfIz6OjfdDpq W2QGs7b5T0EBOmGXdDgJcaCb/Uaxzh1HGYUBaZwk8g99yVlzea3lp7UYEOQA1Nsn xYJMc7D0lh8oQYboEjttzx/NHVhu0M8rXSdDpozNCAne8q+c2zaA1iHS0uyYNiUK qBkfIs0EhDg9J0iKQv7b0hSqsAnFOT9aRSz2NgML6Njm8rpIgfOPUcaN9zg+dWEH JhFJxGvQQ/t0Jltz8tTtVwJLmmEjdN17FScBTNDMcJGNTw6rdguqgyMCYplzYbDX qo8Ky7utra5V6GqwEQbbF6oHwINBe/aAg5GCTgI4W6xWIQBWT9+mL09diZ7nSsy8 OotMGrahQBTMiRtozPIwPloMLcvEaikueqk8lehvRVzaidU+bis= =VW0G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/bFsaz6e_JJ=n7DeRXVVPJrX--
