Stac disk compression started out as a CPU-consuming TSR while the STAC Coprocessor Card dedicated accelerator appeared later. That they were able to eek out minimal performance drop for on-the-fly storage de/compression was a testament to creative engineering. SoftRAM95 was merely a cheap rip-off of something vaguely similar but intent on committing fraud rather than offering anything of value. macOS and Windows both include native memory compression that now makes sense CPU-wise for highly-compressible, colder regions that are warm enough to not swap out except under pressure.
