Compcache was activated randomly at some point after using Ubuntu 9.04.
I manually removed it myself.  I know it was not on because after
installing Ubuntu I manually set a swap size and manually editted
/etc/fstab to use it.  I found it installed at one point when I was
trying to figure out one day what was taking up so much RAM, and I found
my swap size was different, added by 512MB.  If it helps any, I noticed
it was enabled after using and installing the dependencies for this
script: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169505

I will post instructions on how to manually remove it, because disabling
it will only reenable it on reboot:

To check if one has Compcache enabled run:
sudo swapon -s

If there is a ramzswap in there along with your normal swap settings it
means it is enabled.  To disable it:

sudo rm /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/compcache && sudo update-
initramfs -u

And restart.  Check to see if it is installed by running this again after 
rebooting:
sudo swapon -s

It should be gone now.
