It seems kind of, but better because memory can be compressed and/or paged out using a more advanced algorithm than before which assumes fast NVME's available to inform it's decisions.
- mpweiher 4y agoCompressed swap has also been around for ages. There's also been swapping to GPU memory (if free). There are also advanced page replacement algorithms. One interesting algorithm I read about a while back was using LZW not to compress swap, but to predict future page usage from past patterns. etc. etc. It's all still paging/swapping.
