ZorRam Speed

But will he notice a difference in day to day use? Many have suggested using ZorRAM cards as swap space, which sounds like a great idea to me. The best way to implement that, however.... When the card was first announced, there were several requests for the inclusion of a configurable storage controller (or ROM-based file system) of some sort in addition to the option to autoconfigure as RAM.

If you were going to use it as just SWAP space why not just use it as RAM? I am sure the use of the programs to move data in and out of the ZorRam like swap memory should be even slower.

Good point. :-) With Exec's default memory management, though, I'm sure there's a point where one may outperform the other.
