Well, I'm not sure why I'm going to the trouble except that I am learning a lot plus I am writing my own scripts (which I will share when done) to check and correct corrupted pools (which may be necessary at some later point when I REALLY need it) > That said, I'd expect the version with checksums to be larger, because the > compressed content should be identical.
