- A new patch for the Linux ZRAM module can boost LZ4 dictionary compression performance by over 50%.
- The patch was submitted by Gao Xu of HONOR company to the Linux kernel mailing list.
- The optimization involves pre-processing the dictionary only once, reducing overhead from repeated calls to `LZ4_loadDict()`.
- This improvement is achieved with just a few dozen lines of code.
- The patch is currently under review and promises significant performance gains for ZRAM I/O operations.
