+1 on James reply. Also a quick note: AIUI, jffs2 gets much of its
storage advantage from better packing of directory structu
Yes, jffs2 compresses data. That's why it is so slow. That's why SD
card is faster than it should be otherwise.
No, there's no commonly used compression for ext4.
It would be a performance tradeoff; compression takes time and power.

Any ideas why Release 13.2.6 placed on ext4 instead of jffs2 appears to
almost double in size?
Starting with 13.2.6 on XO-1 on jffs2 per usual, "du -s /* | sort -nr"
yields these contents for a stock/vanilla XO-1:
1070992 /usr
239060 /home
117623 /var
18780 /etc
15382 /boot
