# Kernel Samepage Merging (KSM)
# -----------------------------

# Processes that mark their memory as mergeable can share identical memory
# pages if KSM is enabled. This is particularly useful for nova + libvirt
# backends but any other setup that marks its memory as mergeable can take
# advantage. The drawback is there is higher cpu load; however, we tend to
# be memory bound not cpu bound so enable KSM by default but allow people
# to opt out if the CPU time is more important to them.

# Compressed swap (ZSWAP)
#------------------------

# as noted in the kernel docs https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/mm/zswap.html
# Zswap is a lightweight compressed cache for swap pages.
# It takes pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts
# to compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
# zswap basically trades CPU cycles for potentially reduced swap I/O.
# This trade-off can also result in a significant performance improvement
# if reads from the compressed cache are faster than reads from a swap device.
