  8. Overview:
  9. This document is for small proposal ideas that are about one paragraph in
  10. length. From here, ideas can be rejected outright, expanded into full
  11. proposals, or specified and implemented as-is.
  12. Proposals
  13. 1. Directory compression.
  14. Gzip would be easier to work with than zlib; bzip2 would result in smaller
  15. data lengths. [Concretely, we're looking at about 10-15% space savings at
  16. the expense of 3-5x longer compression time for using bzip2.] Doing
  17. on-the-fly gzip requires zlib 1.2 or later; doing bzip2 requires bzlib.
  18. Pre-compressing status documents in multiple formats would force us to use
  19. more memory to hold them.
