Data compression in RAM? Why? Today, RAM is reasonably priced for most people and use-case scenario's. 20 years ago this would have been useful. Today? Dubious...
Linux distros use compression for ram disks/devices, like temp folders or swap pages stored in ram (instead of disk) e.c zram/zswap, and reading compressed data from ram is faster, than read data from swap file placed on ssd.
