   Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> not yet in gentoo   
      
   I see it is now in Slackware-15.0-ish.   
      
    BP> i like to learn more on how to disabled compressed memory   
      
   Compression is evil.  I would definetly get rid of that.   
      
    BP> swapoff -a   
      
   I haven't used swap in around 25 years now.  What for?  DDR4 is cheap, or at   
   least was the last time I checked and infinetly better than swap.  Why would   
   you do this to any machine?   
      
    BP> is it sign of memory leak ?   
      
   I don't know.  All I know is that real memory seems to be working fine and   
   thus no need for swap to act as drag on any system.   
      
   Wait a minute!  Yes I have used swap lately on a raspi but that was only   
   because it lacked real memory and I needed more to enable 64-bit gcc and   
   friends (aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu).  However that fell by the wayside once I   
   was successful getting it to work.  Pure 64-bit too.  A real shame that turned   
   out to be although I did learn much from the experience, the biggest lesson   
   being raspi's require more real memory.  8G would have been nice.  Oh well ...   
   live and learn eh?   
      
   Life is good,
