Hi

I've read an interview with Hans in the polish edition of Chip Special some
time ago.
I remember Hans saying that nowadays CPUs are so fast, they compress
faster than HDDs move the heads around and do the writes. So compression,
if done properly, can be with no negative impact to speed.

Can you say what level of compression with which processors would handle
it without speedloss?
