Me watching my kernel shove 16gb worth of in use virtual memory into zswap in a desperate attempt to run 20 heavy applications on 8gb of physical memory

That’d be over 1TB with zram on

I liked the server I set up the other day. 512 gigs of ram, 1 gig swap.

We’re using maybe 100gigs currently.

because swap does other things than “extending” your physical ram
