I don't think write performance on distfiles is a real issue and for packages I would assume - without measuring myself - that modern compression algorithms in ZFS (lz4/zstd) are quite good at detecting when to stop compressing a file anyway - users who need to squeeze out the last bit of performance are always free to do this locally anyway. -m -- Michael Gmelinhome | help
