XZ aside, while still being on the topic of payload compression, have you had any thoughts on implementing support for LZ4? I remember we discussed lzo in the past, and how it could've been convenient for source payload compression, but the library released under GPL caused problems. The LZ4 libraries OTOH are BSD licensed, with compression ratio & speed being negligibly worse, while decompression speed being about 3x as fast. Unless you have any plans or any thoughts about it being a waste of time, I might just take a stab at it some day when I have nothing better to do... :) -- Regards, Per Øyvind
