Hi again. |

If someone is interested in the results of my tests and benchmarks, |
| 4 |
I've uploaded the initial version of my article on the topic in our |
| 5 |
dev-space. |

I am terribly busy with the uni right now so it will take some time |
| 10 |
before I continue working on it. I will try to provide a final |
| 11 |
specification for the first attempt at the idea and ask infra if they |
| 12 |
are ready to sacrifice the hardware for it. |

Further possible improvements: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1. switch to LZ4 (stronger compression, even faster) -- will require |
| 17 |
a newer kernel (3.14?), |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
2. dedicated SquashFS delta tool -- I'm working on it but |
| 20 |
the format seems to be poorly documented so it will take some time :). |
