Compcache makes more memory through *magic* compression!
Posted: Thu 10 Jul 2008, 05:05
Ubuntu is planning (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/compcache) to integrate this (http://code.google.com/p/compcache/) google summer of code project in their next release, but it seems even better suited to Puppy!
The descriptions I linked to are better than I can manage, but basically, it creates a compressed swap space within memory, which is much faster than using swap space on the hard disk. The performance gains on low memory systems and live cds are amazing.
