Today I noticed this project: compcache:Compressed Caching for Linux.
It allows you to specify an amount of RAM that will be used as a swap device, with compressed pages.
This is a trend that we will start seeing, at least while fast cheap persistent storage becomes common.
If I test this soon in a small device I'll post the results.
