I was reviewing my Portage settings yesterday and I noticed that I have |
| 2 |
PORTAGE_COMPRESS set (to bzip2, the default) on both of my servers and it |
| 3 |
occurred to me that both of these servers have filesystems that support |
| 4 |
compression (btrfs on one, zfs on the other). So I'm wondering if it still |
| 5 |
makes sense to have PORTAGE_COMPRESS set or if I should unset it and just |
| 6 |
let the fs-level compression handle it. Portage is already slow, why have |
| 7 |
it take the time to do this when the fs does it better and |
| 8 |
transparently? Thoughts on the matter? |
