Could compcache improve restore after STD responsiveness?Could compcache improve restore after STD responsiveness?Posted May 27, 2009 6:50 UTC (Wed) by rvfh (subscriber, #31018)In reply to: Compcache: in-memory compressed swapping by BrucePerens Parent article: Compcache: in-memory compressed swapping
Interestingly, storing compressed memory to swap to hibernate reminds me a lot of TuxOnIce (and maybe now uswsusp, but that needs user space magic), which could save much more than the default swsup thanks to compression...
Could ramzswap help have a more responsive system after restore too? Maybe with a little tweaking?

Also, apparently compression would add vert little overhead to the swap-to-disk case, allowing for faster i/o and better use of swap space.
Maybe it should be considered to add this feature to the generic swap code?
