[Suggestion] ZRAM + swappiness tweaks -> more performance

As Jollas CPU is powerful enough getting rid of the slower swap partition and using the faster zram might help when ram is running full. When using zram it also makes sense to change swappiness to swap things out early (as this leaves more free memory for current tasks and apps and new apps)

So my suggestion recompile kernel with zram enabled and change vm.swappiness to 100. Get rid of swap partition if possible (should be no problem as swap is only 500 MB now and zram can without any problem use 1/2 of the ram for compressed swap)
