+ A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
+ pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
+ compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
+ This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
+ in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
+ reads, can also improve workload performance.
+
+ This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
+ v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these
+ interactions don't cause any known issues on simple memory setups,
+ they have not be fully explored on the large set of potential
+ configurations and workloads that exist.
