Finally, (for any spectators reading this far), what you mentioned
about sorting by access time, is one of a few key factors I had in

for fedora than for kubuntu, because of the ext3 image file versus
native squashfs, but it should be doable.
Yes. Another idea which I'm in the process of adding to Squashfs is
selective metadata prefetch. Currently even with file sorting, you
still experience some disk head seeking when inode and directory
information is read. If on filesystem mount some or all of the
metadata was prefetched this would minimise seek time.
Why stop at metadata ;)

I really love device mapper.
