Speaking of file sizes, xz[1] already provides better compression:
xz -k -9 linux-2.6.34-rc2.tar
55320408 linux-2.6.34-rc2.tar.xz
xz -e -k -9 linux-2.6.34-rc2.tar
54800808 linux-2.6.34-rc2.tar.xz
One drawback of xz is that it's not multi-threaded, much like bzip2 or
gzip; would be great if it could be changed.
