Package zram-config now defaults compression algorithm to lzo.
What about to change to zstd?

Inserting into line 21 of /usr/bin/init-zram-swapping would do it:
`echo zstd > /sys/block/zram${DEVNUMBER}/comp_algorithm`

zram-config is something real useful. In a context of inexpensive RAM, It
is more wise disable swap on disk and use a compressed zram.
zstd is an algo perfect for that. It best balance compression ratio and cpu
usage.
