You've got 3GB RAM in your system. You'll not see zRAM swapping until it really needs to. With 2GB+ RAM, zRAM will not make much of an impact in your system.

Here are few things you can do in the meantime:

1- In /etc/sysctl.conf change swappiness to 10

vm.swappiness=10

2- From LiteTweaks, install preload

Restart and open your most common applications a couple time at least. Give a little bit of time for preload to kick in. Just because you do not see zRAM swapping already it does not mean that's a bad thing or that its broken.

I installed zRAM through Synaptic Package Manager.

When I do a .......

_{cat /proc/swaps}

I get ..........

_{Filename            Type      Size   Used   Priority
/dev/sda5                               partition   3981308   0   -1
/dev/zram0                              partition   752016   0   5
/dev/zram1                              partition   752016   0   5}


Looks like the Swap is not used...

I did this after install.....

_{gksudo leafpad /etc/sysctl.conf}

AND added this .......

_{# Decrease swap usage to a more reasonable level
vm.swappiness=50}

Any Help Appreciated.
