have found a lil more about zram,i hope it helps anyone!!!!
zRam(Zero Capacitor Ram)
------------------------
zRam is an experimental(staging)module of the Linux kernel.It was previously called"compcache".zRam increases performance by avoiding paging on disk and instead uses a compressed block device in RAM in which paging takes place until it is necessary to use the swap space on the hard disk drive.Since using RAM is faster than using disks,zRam allows Linux to make more use of RAM when swapping/paging is required,especially on older computers with less RAM installed.
To make it simple,zRam allows to virtually increase the amount of RAM your device has by using the Swap spaces in your device memory.This is mostly profitable for "LOW-END DEVICES" that come with "FEW RAM" (512mb generally).
