Hey Benny!

 BP> not yet in gentoo

I see it is now in Slackware-15.0-ish.

 BP> i like to learn more on how to disabled compressed memory

Compression is evil.  I would definetly get rid of that.

 BP> swapoff -a

I haven't used swap in around 25 years now.  What for?  DDR4 is cheap, or at least was the last time I checked and infinetly better than swap.  Why would you do this to any machine?

 BP> is it sign of memory leak ?

I don't know.  All I know is that real memory seems to be working fine and thus no need for swap to act as drag on any system.

Wait a minute!  Yes I have used swap lately on a raspi but that was only because it lacked real memory and I needed more to enable 64-bit gcc and friends (aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu).  However that fell by the wayside once I was successful getting it to work.  Pure 64-bit too.  A real shame that turned out to be although I did learn much from the experience, the biggest lesson being raspi's require more real memory.  8G would have been nice.  Oh well ... live and learn eh?

Life is good,
Maurice
