The article explains how to speed up Linux systems by enabling and configuring ZRAM, a compressed RAM-based swap, particularly useful given rising RAM costs. It covers installing zram-tools, setting ALGO (lz4 or zstd), PERCENT, and PRIORITY in the ZRAM config, adjusting kernel parameters (swappiness, cache pressure, dirty ratios) via sysctl, disabling traditional swap to avoid conflicts, and rebooting to apply changes, while noting some distributions ship ZRAM enabled by default.
