Thanks for your suggestion; I had somehow missed there's a debug option. Attached is the log for reading with lzo compression. Please note that I cancelled the read operation at some point. Hope that helps ... ** Attachment added: debug_read.txt

okay, here's the vmstat output. i dont't understand what it tries to tell me ... probably i'll just go for zlib then, but would rather have the supposedly higher performance of lzo ... anyways, thanks for your help! ** Attachment added: vmstat.txt

okay, did some more testing. I created 3 test ascii files test_{1,2,3}.txt, having sizes of approx. 3M, 28M, 56M. Then I ran this script: #!/bin/sh for ALG in zlib bzip2 lzo do echo $ALG for TEST in test_*.txt do ls -l -h $TEST fusecompress -o fc_c:$ALG

some more info: in general, the read performance seems to be extremely low. copying a 3.2M ASCII file from the compressed folder to my home directory takes 1.37s, whereas copying it within my homedirectory only takes .006s. is this to be expected? I would have expected a much higher performance
