I think as this thread draws towards a close, that the lz4 modifictions Evgeny made in part address my speed concerns for gigabyte sized files. And that if any more speed for PUT is wanted, that one would set:
max-deltification-walk = 0 compression-level = 0 It also looks like the there is dev-team consensus that the properties that exist already are should *not* be supplemented by new ones that pertain to compression/deltification on per file-suffix basis. And that consensus is *regardless* of whether per-file-suffix is considered to be safe or not. Therefore I should not go ahead and raise a Jira feature request on this - right? (thanks for the great particpation in this conversation, gang) -ph
