Then reboot.

Nope.
This happens with zero swap space used. In other words, as soon as compressed swap tries to use the disk, it fails.
So my computer:
*can use normal swap, but not compressed swap.
*Can only boot (startup disk) from a normal partition on the internal drive (not from a USB stick, not from the recovery partition)
*refuses to display the boot chooser on pressing alt/option.
All of these used to work. It looks like I was able to boot from a USB stick in January or February (I had to use 10.2 to compact a sparse image that used large bands). I'm not sure when compressed swap failed -- it's probably been a year since I turned it off.

I tried to reenable it (removing the vm_compressor argument). Unfortunately, all that did was give me a swap error as soon as physical memory filled up.
I'd like to know what I need to do to go back to compressing my virtual memory.
At the time, my reason for disabling it was that it turned my 16 GB machine into a 6 GB machine. The system would insist on using 10 GB for compressed swap, and my working set at the time -- Minecraft client, Minecraft server, recording software, voice chat software, etc. -- needed more memory than that.
