I know in the m$ world the swap space is compressable as windows feels like
compressing it (randomly probibly :D ) is the native linux swap space
compressed or compressable ??

if it is a ramdrive with swapspace might be a good thing.

things would still be in memory, but have a smaller footprint, in a reserved
space, until they are required.
