In my 2002 analysis of the performance of compressed read-only
filesystems (for the purpose of Linux live CDs) squashfs won hands
down for both compression ratio and RAM/VM usage.
Mind you, that was in an I/O-bound, RAM-limited environment whereas in
this context the CPU needed for on-the-fly decompression may be
prohibitive.
