New CRAM method delivers 452x faster compressed memory reads in Linux

Original: New CRAM method offers giant boost to compressed memory reads

A new Linux technique called CRAM compresses data in RAM and reportedly achieves reads up to 452 times faster than existing compressed memory methods. The approach aims to expand effective system memory by keeping more data in compressed RAM rather than swapping to disk, with a major improvement in read performance. Developers and performance enthusiasts are discussing the benchmarks and what the gains could mean for memory-constrained systems.

Why now: A large claimed performance improvement in Linux compressed memory handling is notable to systems developers and users.
