From: Nitin Gupta on 9 Aug 2010 13:30 Compression takes much more time than decompression. So, its quite wasteful in terms of both CPU cycles and memory usage to have a very low compressed page size threshold and thereby storing such not-so-well compressible pages as-is (uncompressed). So, increasing it from PAGE_SIZE/2 to PAGE_SIZE/8*7. A low threshold was useful when we had "backing swap" support where we could forward such pages to the backing device (applicable only when zram was used as swap disk). It is not yet configurable through sysfs but may be exported in future, along with threshold for average compression ratio.
