Well, even if there are/were folk who want tiny disk footprints,
and crunching everything isn't going to do the whole job, wouldn't
a compressed filesystem be a better way to approach this?  At least
that way you'd still be able to page from the executable(s), and
all of the on-disk data would bennefit too.

(I've read serious suggestions in comp.arch that it could be
benneficial to compress DRAM, with hardware decompression/
compression on the way in and out of cache...)
