Do we retain the compression ratio over bzip2 if we limit compression memory to 512 MB so that decompression would be possible with, say, 128 MB?
According to xz(1), in its default mode (-6), xz uses ~100MiB for compression and ~10MiB for decompression. That seems to be acceptable. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
