zram compression algorithm

I saw the github issue where bazzite switched back to lz4 from zstd for zram compression, because lz4 has less latency and more responsiveness
however people also mentioned with <12GB RAM the compression benefit of zstd starts to outweigh the latency benefit of zstd...
should I switch back to zstd? my machine only has 8GB of RAM
also I'm pretty sure using zstd means more strain on your CPU?
