I thought I'd link the paper below, which describes how to zero free
memory with 1% overhead
http://www.usenix.org/events/sec05/tech/full_papers/chow/chow_html/index.html
This may be interesting to people who want to get the last little bit
out of compcache (people booting Xubuntu on 128MB of ram, for
example); as I'd expect this to improve the compression ratio.
