That is pretty conclusive - it shows an 8% increase in image size vs a
66% increase in decompression speed. It will take a _lot_ to offset
that increase in decompression speed.
So, what I think is that yes, we should accept LZ4 and drop LZO from
the kernel - the "fast but may not be small" compression title has
clearly been taken by LZ4.
Akpm - what's your thoughts?
