part of some irc discussions on
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/KDEEarlyOOM

raised my attention to related item,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SwapOnZRAM

As it stands currently with earlyoom, it's default thresholds are 4% ram and 
10% swap before it acts.  That's fine and dandy.

Upon reading the SwapOnZRAM feature proposal, I see it is advocating 
allocating 50% of ram for swap.  I'd like folks to consider and evaluate how 
this impacts earlyoom.  It effectively makes the earlyoom memory threshold 
double (right?).  If so, at least think about lowering 4 to (2 or 3), since 
that will make earlyoom's behavior closer to before swaponzram was 
introduced.

Thoughts?
