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