ZRAM is a compressed ramdisk for swap, right? I'm really not
interested currently.
My next system will have 16gb of ram, and I'll create an 8gb ramdisk
on it to increase emerge performance. Other than that, I'm pretty
happy with my system performance, disabling swap and compositing
effects (remember, open source radeon drivers, I might try fglrx again
but I really liked KMS) did the trick.
8GB isn't enough for some packages. Though putting it on top of zram
might work. I don't know how you'd calculate the free space, though,
and portage would check in advance.
I have portages work directory on tmpfs and it works fine. I don't have
it set to a specific amount so it uses whatever it needs. It even works
fine with LOo. I have 16Gbs in all but it rarely uses more than 4Gbs.
Of course, I don't just sit here and watch it either. I start my
updates and usually go to bed.
