seems like nobody is shipping these defaults but they gave me a massive speed boost in ram-constrained tasks on the pinephone
<gnarface>
thought you guys would want to know
<buZz>
curious :)
<buZz>
gnarface: 'nobody' , seems Pop!OS ships with those defaults ;)
<gnarface>
uh, yea sorry, i meant practically nobody (which includes Arch!)
<gnarface>
anyway, it works well
<buZz>
very nice find :)
<gnarface>
i had been doing it all wrong... i figured we'd want to minimize swappiness
<gnarface>
and though i recall being told once, i didn't remember at the time that values > 100 were valid
<buZz>
i wonder what those watermark settings are
<buZz>
maybe about being full?
<gnarface>
not sure
<gnarface>
didn't really look yet
<gnarface>
but booting Arch off a microSD card in a phone with just slightly less than 2GB of ram seems to be an optimal use case for these settings
<gnarface>
i bumped my % of ram usage from 40 to 60 too, not sure if that matters much
<Wizzup>
on the pinepone zram cna make sense
<Wizzup>
on the n900 it doesn't
<Wizzup>
I think we have zram on the droid4 too
<Wizzup>
if we don't have zram on the pp maybe we should
<gnarface>
oh, i guess on older kernels swappiness 100 is the max valid value
<gnarface>
after 5.8 it can go up to 200

hmm, seems to also help to set the compression algorithm to zstd
<buZz>
i thought the kernel autodecided which compression was optimal for zswap
<gnarface>
well the default on Arch seemed to be zstd on my pinephone, but the default on my pinebook which is basically the same hardware internally was lz4
<buZz>
curious yeah
<gnarface>
different kernel versions mind you, but they both have zstd available, so it makes me question the intelligence of the check if there is one
<buZz>
wow you have a OG pinebook still?
<gnarface>
heh, i have 2
<buZz>
i heard they were so fragile that most broke already
<gnarface>
i don't use it much
<buZz>
that likely helps :)
<gnarface>
i started poking at this initially trying to chase a performance problem in waydroid, and the difference is... shocking
<buZz>
on what system are you running waydroid?
<gnarface>
the pinephone
<gnarface>
i mean, it still doesn't work great, but it now also doesn't time out half the time
<buZz>
sweet :)
