i don't find any statistic proof that is show how Zram help or not help, but many people on openwrt with 512mb use it and happy with it, because any way its work better than usb swap with it low speed. In theory how its work, with normal power processor like in ax3000 v2 you can really up your ram from 512 to 812mb with out any problem. I use it to in my owrt router to with 512mb ram and its helps a lot with performance. Its really not feature for feature.

You can read this manual for example this some explanation about it, its in russian but you can transalate it with google: https://debianlive.ru/2023/06/zram-%D0%BD%D0%B0-openwrt-%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BB%D1%8F%D0%B5%D0%BC-%D1%85%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8F%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B5-%D0%BE%D0%B7%D1%83-%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%83%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80/
