[This answer](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/192155/143394) says that zswap decompresses pages before writing them to non-RAM swap. Is there any way to compress the pages written to disk, ideally with lz4? I hope to: * Reduce SSD write wear * Reduce swap disk allocation * Speed up swap IO (hopefully fewer blocks are written/read to/from disk)
