8 I also feel it faster (or, at least, not slower) with reiserfs, but
9 going from ~300 MB to 79. Not sure if it would benefit from putting
10 squashed image in a different filesystem (it was placed in /root, that
11 is ext4 in my case). Maybe it would be faster if generated image was put
12 in /var/tmp/portage (that is tmpfs in my case)
13
14 But I am testing it with plain squashfs (without write support)
