And what are the benefits of using it?

zRAM is intended for using in those machines with 2gb or less of RAM, actually you'd get better results and/or see any performance improvement with 1gb of RAM. If you have more than 2gb of RAM it doesn't worth the time since you won't see much of a difference regarding performance, in fact, and according to what I've read,  you'd probably see a decrease of it.
Hope this helps!

Moltke a bunch of the computers I am working on have 2 GB RAM so given that the RAM is at the top end of the range “do I” or “don’t I” use zRAM to help performance..?

Thanks, Janet

Well, like I said it's intended for machines with 2gb of RAM or less, in any case, I'd say go for it and if you don't get the desired results regarding performance improvement then you can simply deactivate it again. And lite tweaks tool says it's completely safe so you shouldn't be getting any side effects. Also, you'd want to read this post which might be of help on deciding whether to use zRAM or not in your particular case.
Hope this helps!
