Some of the error messages produced by Apple's MPW C compiler (2006)

The AS memory compression is better as it's hardware accelerated.

IIRC Windows doesn't like to overcommit memory and its allocation calls will actually fail instead, but I don't remember the details.

I think ASi Macs also use swap by default now, because the SSDs are so fast that it's actually a tenable solution to memory pressure. My Intel Mac never had any swap.

Yeah... one of the reasons why I dislike it.

Intel Macs have swap too. You can check it in Activity Monitor: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/activity-monitor/actmn...

zswap supports pretty much any cryptographic accelerator. Accelerating memory compression isn't really a new or particularly "better" innovation.

Not cryptographic acceleration, compression acceleration. Anyway, they ain't got one, so it doesn't matter if it's supported.
