Boost System Performance RAM specifically in Ubuntu using zRam!
Boost System Performance RAM specifically in Ubuntu using zRam! I gotta admit that apart from all the criticism, MS Windows Kernel is pretty good at managing memory and system resources. Although the GNU/Linux Kernel is certainly one of the most robust & highly secured ones out there, but sometimes I do feel a bit "sluggish" performance while the Memory gets filled and when its time to move the data between SWAP (virtual memory, a file, stored on or as a partition in GNU/Linux) to the RAM or vice versa when comparing with the Windows Kernel. What the heck is "SWAP"? If youre a bit new to all this hype :)... then SWAP is the temporary storage location that holds programs and other whatnots just before theyre loaded into your actual/physical RAM for execution. Anyhow, apparently there are few solutions for enhancing the performance and one in particular called zRam (successor of a project known as "Compcache", link below) thats integrated into the GNU/Li...
