Hello, I came across zram recently and I'd like to know if I should use it, my laptop only has ~4GB of ram, and for the most part it'll only stutter when I open multiple programs or a game, so would zram be adequate in my case?

Also, would the compressing and decompressing have a significant impact on my cpu?
