Well, I believe I have something to say here. z3fold is generally
faster than zsmalloc which makes it a better choice for zram
sometimes, e.g. when zram device is used for swap. Also,  z3fold and
zbud do not require MMU so zram over these can be used on small Linux
powered MMU-less IoT devices, as opposed to the traditional zram over
zsmalloc. Otherwise I do agree with Dan.
