LZMA uses more memory to decompress, and (IIRC) takes longer to
decompress.  Neither is desireable slow ARM hardware that often have as
little as 128MB RAM.

Also the primary driver behind the adoption of LZMA on Slackware x86 was
due to the increasing size of Slackware and the number of CDs required per
release - which is not an issue for Slackware ARM.
