News to me... Well, even if there are/were folk who want tiny disk footprints, and crunching everything isn't going to do the whole job, wouldn't a compressed filesystem be a better way to approach this? At least that way you'd still be able to page from the executable(s), and all of the on-disk data would bennefit too. (I've read serious suggestions in comp.arch that it could be benneficial to compress DRAM, with hardware decompression/ compression on the way in and out of cache...) -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
