Compiling doesn't really matter. You can give the size via bootparam=20
"compsize=3DN" or via /proc/sys/vm/comp_cache/size

I've noticed, with "Page compressing" the system gets slower, and stopps=20
reacting for less than a second if you do high i/o. Without it, no stopps=
=20
occur. With Lockbreak, not part of Compressed Cache, there are still some=
=20
stopps, but i think, Rodrigo has this stuff on his ToDo-List.

But, anyway, i cannot tell you the exact size of what it should be to get=
=20
maximum compression and also maximum speed. I've asked this yesterday too=
 on=20
this mailinglist. :) Let's wait for Rodrigo.
