Maybe you just figured out the right combination of tunables I couldn't, or maybe my SSD was no longer as fast as it used to be. But I was frequently cramming 5GiB of data in RAM on my TP T60p with zram, where zswap wasn't perceptibly much better than just plain swap.
Somehow I knew you would turn out to be a fellow T60p user...
I don't remember tuning it at all. I just set zswap.enabled=1, disabled my zram init script, and away I went. My [current] usage totals about 3.8 4.1GiB, including about 0.6GiB of buffer cache. Maybe your extra gibibyte makes all the difference. My T60p runs a very minimal Sawfish setup instead of a full DE, which helps a lot.
